Just took a closer look and my Rogain Foam expired as of 12/08. I've got 3 bottles left. Anyone think its a problem to use it for a few months and it still be effective? Thanks!

I really want to commit and use Rogain. Already purchased some foam bottles and all. But as I start use, my scalp becomes "warm" and that irritates my eyes/vision. I know Rogaine (minoxidol) is a vaso-dialator so its mechanism is to increase blood flow to the area (scalp) but this "side effect" deters my committment to use. Should I struggle through it? Am I putting too much on? Should I use it just once a day? Every other day? Any other thoughts? I would really appreciate it, I'm really at a spot where I need to do something or live with the hair loss. On a side note, I have a shaved hair style, so scalp is pretty exposed and vulnerable to the Rogaine. I don't know if that makes a difference.
