minoxidil Advice PLZ

[cmramlow]

Hi guys. I have been a member her for a long time reading and learning a little about our plight as men who are losing hair to some degree or another. I have been thinning in the front for about 8 years now. It has thinned a lot, but not enough to loose too much sleep over. I did try Rogain at 2%, from the bottle and to my dismay my scalp flaked and itched so bad that I had to stop it after 2 weeks. That was about 1.5 years ago.

My question is, can anyone recommend something that wont cause my aforementioned scalp issues? I would love to hear any advice that can help my situation.

Thanks!

it COULD have been the ppg (it commonly causes adverse skin effects) in the minoxidil solution formulas that caused you to have that reaction. My only advice is to give the rogaine foam a shot, it contains no ppg so it might be less irritating.

or try dr. lees ppg free or reduced minoxidil from http://www.minoxidil.com. I had adverse effects also, im giving his stuff a shot, just got it in the mail.
