Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The reason for your itchy scalp may be due to allergic reaction to vehicle in minoxidil solution. Do consult your hair transplant surgeon and address your problem. He might give you a different minoxidil with a different vehicle which will not cause any allergic reactions.
