Allergic rash for 1 week after Minoxidil

2017-09-25 11:24:11
I'm a male 26 and I've started using Minoxidil liquid 5 percent twice a day for around 20 days until my ears and face became itchy and irritated and my eyes became swollen. So, I stopped using the medicine and everything disappeared after a week or so. I noticed that Propylene Glycol is present in my regular shampoo that I've been using way before Minoxidil! It was even present in BIAVINE, the cream I used to treat the allegy! So, it possible that Minoxidil triggered the reaction?
