Help! My scalp itches!

[saneeze]

Hello!

I started using rogaine 2% for women some months ago, finished the entire 3 step process, and by the 3rd month, I had grown a little bit of peach fuzz around my hairline and was really happy. I stopped use for a month or so because I couldn't afford to purchase a second set. Later on, I went to walmart and bought 5% minoxidil for men, because is was only $19. something and I had seen youtube videos of older women recommending 5% vs 2%. Supposedly, more bang for your buck, and that's just what I needed! Suddenly, I'm on my second bottle and I see no hair growth, matter of fact, all the little hairs I had are gone and my scalp itches like heck! D': I could cry right now. For this reason, and the fact that it's very oily, I don't use it everyday. Has anyone experienced itch and no growth with 5% vs. 2%? I'm very frustrated. I'm only 22 years old and I want this to work SO BAD. A woman with a receding hairline is absolutely humiliating.
