    Default Minoxidil foam or liquid + itchy scalp

    Hello!

    I'm about to order more minoxidil but have some questions. I've been using kirkland liquid the past 2 years and it have worked pretty good until a couple of weeks ago when my scalp started feeling dry and itchy and I have some pretty bad shredding atm. The liquid minoxidil is probably the cause.

    I'm thinking to buy the foam version from kirkland. Is it stupid to swap to foam from liquid (more shredding?) when I've been using the liquid for about 2 years or is the foam better than the liquid version?

    How many times a day do you use the liquid?

    the foam is so much better than the liquid! The liquid caused extreme dandruff for me and a lot of itching, I switched to the foam and have had no issues. In fact the foam actually works as a thickening agent for me, it helps me with styling.

    Use it once a day, preferably in the night. Use foam in the day time.
