Hi all,
I’ve been using finasteride 1mg and Minoxidil Kirkland Liquid 5% for just over a year. Great results for me, my hairline hasn’t receded further since starting treatment.
My issue is that over the past few weeks my scalp has become so itchy. I’m putting it down to the minoxidil, however I’m shocked as throughout the past year I never had trouble and has only just come about.
My two questions are -
1) Have any of you had experience on how to deal with the scalp irritation from minoxidil? I don’t want to get to a stage where my scalp is so inflamed I actually lose hair through it.
2) If I stop using the minoxidil would I suffer considerable hair loss even though I’m still taking my finasteride tablet everyday religiously?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
