Ok guys... im on the big three but just recently picked up dr lee's minoxidil about 6 weeks ago. The flakes from the dried minoxidil sometimes can be really excessive. some days its just really bad. is there absolutely anything i can do to get rid of the flakes? I use nizoral twice a week and t sal once a week. Is there anything you guys have found that at least helps or gets rid of it? any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
could really use some advice if you experienced this

I rotate nizoral, tgel, and panteen. Use a very good conditioner. How often/much minoxidil are you using?

I have repeatedly observed that when I use too much minoxidil then it kind of stays on the scalp longer, and where the drops/excess quantity is there is increased flaking and irritation. Do not shower with the stuff. Spread it evenly and do not freak out about it covering every square mm. It diffuses into the skin after absorption.
I believe that your problem is mostly because you are using too much.
Try using the recommended dose and then start skipping applications.
