No irritation/itchyness from minoxidil, is something wrong?

[Stinger122]

Hey guys, just need a bit of reassurance on this!

Well I have been using minoxidil for nearly 2 weeks, I noticed some increased fallout (I think so anyway, they seem to be thick black hairs falling out?! And some fine hairs) Anyways my question is I NEVER seem to get irritation/itchyness from the minoxidil when applying it on my scalp.. This does not mean im applying incorrectly right?

Sorry if it sounds quite silly but a lot of the guys just seem to report irritation/itchyness so im sure you all understand sometimes we NEED signs that this stuff is working!

Cheers anyway guys!

I've never gotten any irritation or itching from my minoxidil, minoxidil with Retin-A or minoxidil 12.5%. And the product has worked for me. You've been completely taken by internet hyperbole - lack of sensation, itching or irritation doesn't mean it's not working.

I never got irritation from it either.. and neither from folligen spray. You will probably go through a shed around a month or so after starting the minoxidil. Sheds suck, but knowing that they are induced by the chemicals which will hopefully regrow newer, fuller hair later on... is a lot easier to take.
