I can't imagine the pain you must be going through right now. With that said, may I please have your minoxidil leftovers?

Thanking you in advance,

Feels like I got a chemical burn on my scalp and severe rashes on front and back of neck and behind ears with 3 distinct growths that popped up on my scalp. Also forehead and temples are raw and skin hardened. I used it 2x a day as directed. This stuff is dangerous. I know I'm not the only one that has had a reaction to this stuff. Thinking about going to a lawyer to talk about a lawsuit. Will wait to see what the dermatologist has to say. Would like to know how many people this happened to. Don't think this is safe to be on the market. The companies that make this stuff made a lot of money and should pay for their deception.
A severe reaction 2 months after starting the use. Yes, there are situations of people getting delayed hypersensitivity to substances (ie poison ivy, nickel from a cheap watch, etc etc) but your situation where it took atleast 8 weeks for the symptoms to show up - doesn't add up.

Additionally, you're mentioning your "forehead and temples are raw and skin hardened". Tracy C is a big advocate on reading directions of how to use/apply topicals, and I'm quite certain the box mentions that applying the product at this location will provide no beneficial growth.

As for the growths localized just to your face, doesn't add up either. Minox is taken up by the blood stream and goes to the liver to get sulfated. You would see other bodily manifestations, which you didn't mention about. However, I'm sure they'll randomly appear since I posted this, correct?

It took 8 months not 8 weeks before getting this reaction. I didn't apply it to my forehead or temples but did apply it to my new transplants on my sides and in the frontal area as well as the rest of my scalp and donor area as directed by my HT doctor. The skin reaction was well beyond the applied areas as well as the back and front of my neck. The dermatologist told me this was all part of the negative reaction to the product. He said the growths were not due to the product reaction but coincidental which I'm not so sure about because they have also diminished. Apparently I'm just one of the small percentage of people who can't use this stuff.

Tracy, I'm not sure what you mean by a PM. Is that payment method? If so, you can send me a self addressed stamped package envelope or I have paypal. Your in Ohio and I'm in Arizona 85737 so it shouldn't cost much. Let me know. I have 4.5 bottles of Kirkland 5% minoxidil left. Doesn't weigh much. Let me know and I'll do this for you no problem.

Stop spreading lies and rumours to new, vulnerable members!! Baldness makes one bitter and angry, deep down wanting others to share the same degree of baldness as them. NW7's don't want to see a world full of NW1's, they want more NW7's. It's why they come on here and talk chit about youthful hairlines and why my hairloss cure plan won't work.
