Flakes observed after applying 5% Tugain

2020-06-28 14:47:03
Hi Doctor, Due to androgenic alopecia i was suggested to use Tugain 5% gel everyday to scalp. After applying for 2 weeks i have observed dandruff like particles over my head. I dont think it is dandruff but they are looking like small flakes, little itching also there. Please suggest me whether i should continue or not using minoxidil Note: I use to apply only once a day, before bedtime Thank you
