Minoxidil scalp irritation

I was using liquid 5% for 6 months when i developed a severe reaction. Thought it was propylene glycol so changed to foam without propylene glycol.....still severe depressing reaction.

5% seemed to be working but now it appears i am allergic to minoxidil. Is that the end. I certainly dont want to accelerate hair loss.

I can also confirm that nizoral and grapeseed oil have cured to severe dry skin caused by the irritation.

The irritation was so severe it caused sleepless nights. I  think there should be a larger expose of the adverse effects of minoxidil....I cant believe you have not received more complaints about this chemical.
