Good Results from Rogaine, Stopped Using It, Then Upon Restarting Treatment It’s Irritating My Scalp
i had used rogaine for 6 months and saw an incredible increase and growth in my hair. there were no side effects, but then after some time i was just tired of applying it daily and so slowly reduced the number of application and then due to lack of time just stopped using it for about 5-6 months. during this time i had a lot of hair fall and thin hair line. so then i decided to start using it again, but now i am having a red scalp and irritation on the scalp which leads to severe itching. why is this and how can i cure it….? there were no side effects earlier, but now i have the itching problem ??
I would first look to see if you have a different brand of minoxidil. Sometimes it’s the inactive ingredients are what can cause the local reaction. You can also try using Rogaine Foam. There is also the rare chance that you have developed an allergic / sensitivity to the medication, as well.
There’s this homeopathic shampoo treatment that my brother used, at first I thought that it was just one of those miracle cures sold by shady street vendors. It turns out it was just that, instead of growing hair on his head it grew on his back. I suppose it was from the rinsing. It did grow hair though.
