Red, Itchy Face After Using Provillus
(female)
I am writing about provillus I purchased the two month supply to see if I could get any results. I have never used any other products and I was looking only and saw the ads for scalpmed and provillus. I decided to give provillus a chance well in my second day of use I develop redness and itchiness of the face and my face felt very warm. I decided to give it a couple of more days and maybe it will go away but it hasn’t. Now my face feels like I had a very bad sunburn red itchy and dry. Is this common with this product? I stop the use of it after 4 days. I hope my face starts to feel normal soon if not I will be going to the dermatologist soon. Please post to make others beware of the side effects of this product.I will be returning the unused product I have left but the returned guaranty (which I didn’t read at the time) states that there will be a $5.00 penalty and no shipping and handling will be refunded. I guess you live and learn and for the future I will be more aware of scams and be sure to read everything before attempting to make a purchase.
You don’t make clear if you used Provillus for Men or the Provillus for Women, but this does sound like an allergy to some ingredient in the product. According to the product website, both versions now contain minoxidil, which does have rash and redness as rare side effects (see list). However, I was under the impression that Provillus’s main ingredient was saw palmetto, a weak DHT blocker (if at all) — which would do nothing for women. Perhaps that changed at some point.
Provillus isn’t FDA approved, and it isn’t something I’d recommend.
I would assume that you are using Provillus For Women based on the above text.
I went to the website due to the previous poster’s comment about Provillus containing Minoxidil but failed to see it listed in the ingredients. Provillus is supposed to be a natural supplement and the ingredients listed confirm that claim.
As far as saw palmetto being a weak DHT blocker… I beg to differ.
Red, irritated, itchy skin can be a sign that a product is working (this is common in many cases of hair restoration but your case may be a bit extreme) but you really should consult your health care professional and have them determine the cause (allergy perhaps) or at least investigate your situation.
I’d love to know how it works out. Just my 2 cents 8-)

There are many definitions and symptoms commonly described as “scalp infections”. There are in fact quite a few quite different reasons why your scalp may be sore, itchy, inflamed burning red or infected.
