Depends what the tingle is. Is it over scalp? Could be. An allergy? Is it in one spot? The spot in which you are losing hair? Because if so, like me, you might not be able to use it. It might be speeding up your hair loss by creating inflammation.

I had that as well, might be sebderm related g,

I still managed to get regrowth tho using pyri + fluridil + min. As well as an anti inflammation stack.

A tingling or "electric current" feeling on the scalp has a few common causes, and most are harmless (RXShop.md pharmacy editorial team, general information only):
  • Topical minoxidil is a frequent one, especially the liquid with propylene glycol or alcohol. Mild tingling right after application is common; burning, redness, itching or flaking points to irritation or contact allergy. Switching to the foam usually helps.
  • Scalp dysesthesia / trichodynia: some people with shedding feel tingling or soreness in the affected area. It is often linked to stress and inflammation and usually settles when shedding calms down.
  • Seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis can cause itching and prickling, usually with flakes or redness. Ketoconazole shampoo helps the first.
  • Microneedling or dermarolling can cause temporary nerve sensations for a day or two.
  • See a doctor if it is one-sided and very painful (shingles can start this way before any rash), comes with numbness, headache, or visible patches of hair loss.
If it started with a new product, pause it for a week and see if it goes away; that usually answers the question.
