Will passing from liquid minoxidil to the foam cause shedding?

[nikko]

As said above, will passing from the liquid minoxidil to regain foam cause shedding? I ve been to the dermatologist and she said it is minx irritation, so I was wondering if passing to the foam could be helpful.

sorry I cant be of much use but I switched from foam to liquid and straight back to foam. I experienced dandruff and a greasy head from liquid. Foam is much easier to manage IMO

I only put the minoxidil liquid on at night because of the whole greasy head thing. I prefer the liquid form, but I did try the foam for a couple months a few years back and did not see any shedding as a result of switching back and forth.

Great, cause the liquid is giving me strong irritation, which causes pain as well. Quite unbearable

It could. I switched from 2% to 5% and shed like crazy.

PG is required for. It slows down the drying time of ethanol, otherwise its rendered useless.

Great, I am screwed. Hopefully the foam won t cause irritation as well

So I went to the dermatologist and she said that I ve to switch from the 5% to the 2% and see how it goes. Otherwise there is the foam
