Default Itch from Minox..not any more.

Ok. So I've been using Minoxidil 5% for over 13 years and have always had this bad itch or irritation after applying it. The weird thing is that the itch has now completely disappeared. Well, actually it's been about 2 years since I started noticing this and I'm wondering what could have happened. I always buy my Minox (Kirkland or Rogaine) on Ebay because we don't have 5% in retarded canada. I'm just wondering if what I've been buying lately is fake stuff. How could the itch just disappear all of a sudden? I really don't know what to think.

Anybody else buys on Ebay?

After more than a decade of itch and irritation it just goes away like that ! Not that I mind that it doesn't itch any more but I'm just worried it might be fake or something.

If you're worried and you can buy the same brand from a local pharmacy it might give you some peace of mind.

I hate going to local market because of the PEOPLE . yes OP I've bought 95% of my rogaine/minoxidil on ebay. Seems legit, just make sure the seller has enough reviews.

EDIT: it's odd because I never experience the itch, only in the back of my head but I only apply rogaine/minix on the temples and frontal hairline.

Thanks guys for the replies. I know the chance of someone selling fake Kirkland or Rogaine Minox is a very small chance but it's a crazy world out there and it's full of crooks with unlimited imagination when it comes to finding ways to rip people off.
I just ordered Rogaine on Ebay and hopefully this time it will give me irritation. Well, not really but that would give me peace of mind for sure.

I just don't know why the hell the 5% isn't available in canada.
