Minoxidil is a hair loss treatment that is applied to the:

  1. Scalp

  2. Skin

  3. Nails

  4. Face

The correct answer is: Scalp

Minoxidil is specifically designed and formulated to be applied to the scalp, and is known for its effectiveness in reducing hair loss and promoting hair growth on the scalp. While it is possible to apply it to other areas of the body, such as the skin or nails, these areas are not the intended target for the treatment and may not yield the same results. Applying minoxidil to the face may also result in unwanted side effects or complications, as the formula is not meant for use on facial hair or skin. Therefore, it is important to only apply minoxidil to the scalp for optimal results.
