Eye Discomfort and Pain

[John Yossarian]

For the last 10 years or so I've had eye problems whenever I use a topical hairloss product. I've also been using Minoxidil for around 10 years, too. I don't see how I could be having this weird reaction from these products. Has anyone else had these problems? It would be nice to use a product without having to quit after a few days.

that's one of the side effects of minoxidil.... if it's already listed as a side effect, then I'm sure some people are getting those unwanted effects too. Nothing you can do about. If it becomes unbearable, you can stop using it and hopefully everything reverses back.

Could using Minoxidil make it difficult to use other topicals?

what do you mean by making it "difficult"?

btw, are you on finasteride?

When I say difficult I mean that pretty much every topical I've used in the last 10 years or so has cause my eyes to become swollen, itchy, and sore. I guess I could lay off the Minoxidil for a couple weeks and see how that goes.

No, I'm not on Finasteride. I tried it a few years back, but I got side effects.
