It's just a one-off experiment, since I no longer need the prescription for what it was intended for. I'll probably be messing around with it, until the tub runs out (it's pretty big and I don't have to use much at all). It's definitely not something I view as healthy, being a very health-minded person. The only research I did was in regards to side effects and seeing some studies on the application of this versus minoxidil (or something). As long as something doesn't risk burning my skin or otherwsie visually-damaging, I'm usually up for trying it.
