dandruff after applying minoxidil...

[S.W]

Recently my barber pointed out that I am thinning on the top. That freaks me out. So I went to check with my doctor who gave me the advice of using minoxidil and propecia together.

I am only two weeks into propecia so there is very little to tell. But for minoxidil, it is becoming more and more unbearable since I got lots of flakes after applying it on my scalp. It is probably a combination of dandruff and dried minoxidil liquid. And 2% Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo doesn't help as my doctor said I can only use it twice a week.

Does anyone have the same problem? If yes, then how do you deal with it? Appreciated if you can let me know. Thanks
