Is it normal for Minoxidil to cause terrible itching and flaking?

[baldblondie]

i had a little minor itch the first couple of days and then it went away. I get random stomach cramps and dry eyes now which i think is from the minoxidil.

Where can I get the foam from ?

I haven't tried the foam, but searched google for any information about where to buy it. Visit Ebay, Amazon, walmart.

Hey Guys,

I've been using Kirkland Minox 5% liquid (and Dutasteride) for some time now, and it's always made my scalp itch and flake terribly bad. I mean, I brush my hair and it starts snowing in the sink. I never had any real dandruff prior to starting Minoxidil. The foam doesn't really cause the same issues. I'm wondering if its a PG allergy or reaction or if its just something I should deal with while using minoxidil? I'm working on tapering off, but I want to try to avoid a major shed.

I hadn't really noticed an improvement in my hair, but it could be that its hard to control my scratching in the treatment areas.

Does anyone else have these issues?

i do,and i have a greasy scalp on top and dead skin from ALL around my head as well.

Most liquid type minoxidol will cause scalp irritation, most foam minoxidol like Regaine will cause 0 side effects.

do you mean generic minoxidil 5% solution or something else? I stopped it because i was way too irritated but my stupid family doc said "if you use it fine,if you don't there's no other solutions" :/ yeah of course

and guys - how come i'm still shedding if transplanted hair were supposed to be immortal as opposed to Others?
any idea? may it be related to thing that mekes me allergic to minox?
