minoxidil irritation and scabby flakes

[Getting there]

I've had great results with propecia and minoxidil, both of which I've been on for 11 months now. However the corners of my forehead (between the temples and crown- you know the two areas,) have been growing little hairs very slowly. Unfortunately I've always got a build up of gunk in those two spots and when I remove it using nizoral (3 times/week) the corners are left raw, red and tend to form light scabs. I always seem to get scabby flakes in those corners.

So I delay the minoxidil application until it's all settled down, and often not apply it to those areas at all that day. But the next time I do, the build up forms there again.

Have others here experienced this irritation when removing build up or learnt to avoid the build up caused my minoxidil? What can you recommend?

I have the same damn problem with scally flakes but I found a wicked cure for ir. I bought 'ReliOn' antifungal skin treatment lotion that is enriched with aloe ,vits, and allantoin then placed a small dab of it in the minoxidil! ReliOn is a sister product to nizoral but its a lotion. Works like a charm
