Will 5% Minoxidil Foam Work for Frontal Female Hair Loss?
(female)
I have intense itching from minoxidil 2%. A previous message by a woman said she had spots and fluid-filled blisters using 2% minoxidil. You recommended 5% foam. I looked at the box of the 5% foam and it is for the back of the head, not for the thinning in front. Will it work for frontal thinning?
Rogaine Foam may work on the frontal scalp, although the FDA recommends it strictly for the crown because it was shown to work best there.
If you have an allergy to an ingredient in the liquid that isn’t in the foam, that might alleviate your intense itch… but otherwise, if you have a sensitive scalp, the 5% concentration might not be the answer since it is stronger than the 2%.
