If you're experiencing itching and irritation you should discontinue use. Are you using liquid or foam? Foam should not irritate so I'd suggest switching if you're using liquid.

I m using minoxidil only 1 time per day, i don t what to go with 2 times abd make my hair used to it, this thing like drug for hair, so start slowely until you stop get benefit from it and then increase the times or %

 

The itching had become less now i think it was not from minox but from dryness and dandruff, i stop using shampoo and just wash my hair using water and i noticing the itching become less

The itching, dryness, and even the redness can be from the high alcohol based additives in all of the minoxidil products.

 

Just read the labeling ingredients and it will makes your eyes wide open...:confused:

 

You may want to consider also using a rich aloe based cream and shampoo which will help soothe the scalp and also helps with reducing the redness...;)
