Damn minoxidil itch (Topicals)

posted by Kowalski, 25.04.2008, 00:47

After just one application, I've given up (temporarily). Its far too itchy to continue. Within an hour or so of application in the morning it was itching so I put emu oil on, which didnt seem to do much. The itch continued through the day and night. The next day it had alleviated a bit, but that night before bed I applied emu oil to make sure I got a good sleep. The itch had pretty much gone but when I woke up, my forehead/hairline was red like a sunburn (my scalp was fine).

Anyone had similar experience on minoxidil? The product itself is Hair a gain, which from what I can tell is the same as rogaine (Minox 5%). Anyone heard good/bad stuff about this product?

Also Im guessing maybe my scalp is extra sensitive/unhealthy. What can be done to improve scalp health?

Lastly if I am having a reaction to emu oil, what would be the next anti-itch product to try?

Thanks
