Been trying to figure out what caused this rapid hair loss and scalp pain/burn.. Happened out of no where at one year mark on propecia and one year mark on liquid minoxidil. At the time of this hair loss and pain, within a week I developed a rash under my armpit, and a stye in my left eye. I was thinking that I could have possibly developed contact dermatitis to the propylene glycol. Anyone ever hear of this happening?

Weird thing is it only effected the left side of my body

If you're using a liquid Minoxidil solution, then yes the Propylene Glycol in it can cause Contact Dermatitis. I've never read of anyone getting a rash in underarms and styes from hair loss treatments.
