Flakes observed after applying 5% Tugain
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

Don't worry...you are suffering from seborrheic dermatitis causing flakes.. Medicine available for good control... Treatment depends on the severity..Do direct online consultation for detailed prescription by sending photos.
