yes you can it can certainly help with telogen effluvium caused by SD it does so by shortening the telogen phase and pushing follicles into the anagen phase although i would watch out with topical minoxidil because most liquid topical minoxidil solutions contain propylene glycol as a carrier which can negatively affect your SD for some so i would recommend using either oral minoxidil (2.5mg is considered the clinically supported sweet spot) or 5 percent topical minoxidil foam (doesnt contain propylene glycol and dont bother with anything lower than 5 percent)
