Itching like crazy...

[thetodd]

I think the minoxidil is what's causing this itching of my scalp.
Is this a common problem? If so, does it last very long? Is there anything you can do to alleviate it? It's especially a problem now that I'm using Toppik. Anyone who uses that product knows that scratching your head isn't a wise move while you have it on.

Emu Oil will cure the itch.

When I use 5% minoxidil, even name brand rogaine, my scalp itched SO MUCH. Using 12.5% minoxidil from Dr. Lee, their isn't much itch at all.

So I'm guessing, in my case at least, it's the additional PPG in non-Dr. Lee minoxidil that causes the itch.

Allergies/sensitivites to propylene glycol are more common than any of the other ingredients in topical minoxidil.

Im getting it from either the foam or Revivogen

I cant tell I stopped both for a week then went back on itch was there right away

Any suggestions should I change something or just add the oil...im guessing if its irritated as bad as its been I need to switch one or the other
