Does minoxidil penetrate the scalp better when the scalp is warm or cold?? When my scalp is cold, I get this itchy feeling after i apply the minoxidil but when my scalp is warm, it doesn't itch. Does it itch because it'spenetrating the scalp or?? Pls help

My feeling is warm, I put the foam on and hit the gym within 1/2 hour as I feel it penetrates better as I sweat. I wear a hat so it doesn't run down my face

dont know anything about the "temperature" of the scalp for being more effective for absorption

ive been told a well hydrated scalp is more responsive to absorption

like after a shower

in which case your scalp would also be on the "warm" side aswell

I blow dry my hair after the shower before applying minoxidil, than the scalp isn't hydrated after that, right? The itchy feeling in my scalp, after I apply the minoxidil, does it mean that the minoxidil is penetrating the scalp or that it isn't and that's why it's itching because it's just irritating the scalp??
