Hi people,
I bought some Kirkland 5% minoxidil foam as I want to use it on my facial hair to get better growth. After I first applied it to my cheeks and neck area twice (twice a day as per recommended), the next day I break out in a huge rash which gets worse for a couple of days, really red, itchy and bumpy before gradually reducing after about a week. Second time, I decided to patch test it once a day on my forearm to see if reducing the dose would be OK for me, and I still break out in a similar rash on my forearm. Does this mean I'm allergic to the minoxidil itself, as the foam doesn't contain PPG as far as im aware, so it could either be the alcohol in it or the minoxidil itself.
Any ideas?
Kind regards
