Minoxidil application

2022-05-17 05:32:48
Minokem n 5% was prescribed by my dermatologist in 2020. After usage of 6 months due to lockdown and unavailability of the product I had to stop using it. But then my hairfall started again . Now from yesterday I started applying it again. But I am experiencing itching on my scalp . It happened earlier also but used to go with wash. Can anyone say if itching is normal after using minoxidil.

You can be allergic to propylene glycol which is the base of minoxidil lotions. You can try minoxidil foam, which doesn't have this ingredient. Like Tugain foam.

Yes, but it is too much. It could be because you are allergic to the product. Please attach images and consult online so that some other product can be suggested.
