I'm at a point that I find this unbearable. All the T area of my face and inside ears are EXTREMELY oily. If I touch these areas, my fingers gets shiny. When in the shower, gently scratching my face or inside my ears I get a white paste of skin under my nails. No matter how much of this I try to remove or scrub, next day in the shower it's all back.
Is this a normal side effect of minoxidil? Is there a work around for this? It is working on my hair, would be a shame to stop it. But this side effect is now affecting my day to day life.
I have now stopped using minoxidil for a few days, to see if it helps this nasty side effect, but the excessive oily skin is still there. How long should I wait to see if it stops?
