This can be a reaction to the minoxidil itself or a reaction to some of the substances commonly used in minoxidil formulas. Many minoxidil products contain propylene glycol, and alcohol, which can lead to skin rash and irritation when applied topically. u will have to shift to a water based formulation. Cunsult a Dermatologist for the same.
