question about minoxidil

[jas021]

I've been on Minoxidil for over 5 months, actually it's a generic one, it still contains 5% topical Minoxidil and I was applying it two times a day. After 5 months, I've started to experience sore eyes.. That's about it.. Should I dilute it with more water? Should I add some acid type liquid. Is Rogaine much different to that of generic Minoxidil?

Are you washing your hands after applying it?

I use minoxidil 15% with 5% Azelaic acid and have noticed I was getting sore eyes if I didn't t wash my hands after rubbing it on. What was happening was I was getting it on my fingers while applying it and then at some point during the day or night I was rubbing my eyes...

After I started washing it off my hands after every application my eyes are no longer getting itchy and inflamed.
