First of all, I would like to thank the folks over here. After going through this site for a few days I was able to settle down on realistic hair loss treatments( Finasteride, Minoxidil and Nizoral).
I have been on my regimen for the past 3-4 weeks. I did not have any major side effects other than mild scalp itch. But two days ago I had a mild itch over my face which progressively worsened. Today when I woke up I was horrified to see my face puffed up(esp below my eyes).
Does this situation sound familiar to anyone else? Is it due to Minoxidil intolerance? I am using Rogaine 5 %. I am surprised because I did not have any reaction during the first 3 weeks. I have dropped Rogaine for now. Is there a good Minoxidil alternative to Rogaine with lesser side effects?
Any helpful comments would be appreciated.
