What Do Itching And Breaking Of Skin While On Minoxidil Indicate?
Brief Answer:
Regarding side effect from minoxidil solution
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.
I am dr. kakkar (dermatologist).
I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
Perhaps you have developed an irritant dermatitis to minoxidil. Minoxidil solution is drying as well as it has an alcohol base.
I suggest you to use Elocon lotion or Momate lotion, twice daily for a week.
Thereafter you may use a different formulation of minoxidil e.g MNX 5% solution. It has a propylene glycol base and is not drying unlike other minoxidil preparations.
Regards
