Rogaine side effects and shed 3 weeks into treatment

[Tugaloo]

I had general thinning all over my scalp and decided to try Rogaine. After 3 weeks I am experiencing an acute shed all over my scalp and have side effects of facial flushing and ringing in my ears and it's driving me crazy. I got scared and haven't applied it for 3 days. What do I do? Should I continue the treatment or not? I have a dermatology appointment (first one), but it's three weeks away
Please Help!

It is not unheard of people having a temporary shed once commencing Minoxidil or when stopping. Try to ride it out.

From your other experiences, the alcohol in the Regaine might not quite agree with you, you could switch to the foam version which is a bit more easy to apply and less of an irritant.
