Hi everyone.
I have been on finasteride 1,25 mg pr day (generic version called finasteride 5mg) for about 4 months now, and i haven't experienced any side effects at all.
However, I have also been on minoxidil for about 1,5 months.
To begin with i used regaine foam 5% in the morning and before going to bed, however, I was told that the liquid was possibly more effective. So, one month into using the foam i started using liquid regaine in the evening and kept using the foam in the morning.
This was all fine until about a couple of days ago. Now, when i apply foam in the morning i have a slight burning sensation as if i was rubbing alcohol on something I just shaved. The amount of pain is a lot less than rubbing alcohol on something shaved, however, the sensation is similar. After 10 seconds the pain is gone.
My scalp is not red or anything. It does itch from time to time though.
Has anyone else experienced this before? Should i be worried?
Any advice would be appreciated!
