    Default Switch from rogaine foam to liquid cause shedding?

    I don't know if it's just in my head but recently I switched from rogaine foam to liquid and think I'm shedding or receding more. I was on the foam for three months once daily then switched to liquid once daily. I only apply it to the left front because that's the only thin spot I have. I switched to the liquid because something in the foam was irritating my skin like none other towards the last month inused it. My thin spot the hairs lick thicker than before treatment and have been on propecia and rogaine since mid May. Is it normal to have shedding from the switch from foam to liquid?

    This has always been the case, I always mention to people never to switch any brands once you start.

    The shedding is expected so just ride it out, also to add liquid contains PG which tends to irritate the scalp.

    Thanks for the reply. The Rogaine Liquid seems to itch my skin less than the foam for whatever reason. The foam got intolerable and cause a stinging sensation like salt on a cut when I applied it towards the end of my use of it.
