Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 19, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 19, 2020 Some of you know I swear by lipogaine, but recently, I’ve noticed my heads been itching like crazy after I apply it. It never happened before. I’m pretty sure they changed the formulation and it’s probably lower quality now. It feels like cheap kirkland minoxidil does, makes you itch. I need a new high-quality minoxidil, I don’t mind spending $40 a bottle, as long as it’s good quality and doesn’t make my scalp feel itchy and inflamed. You guys got any suggestions? If you know of a minoxidil with azaleic acid even better. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

If you know of a minoxidil with azaleic acid even better. I think it's because minox contains alcohol and it makes your scalp dry. I've used Lipogaine, Kirkland and Tugain throughout the years, but lately I found that my scalp is not itching at all if I apply foam minoxidil with a bit of coconut oil. Prevents your scalp from drying out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member T95good Posted November 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2020 I switched to oral minoxidil a few months ago after using liquid for years. Definitely improved hair quality, and I don't have to worry about the white residue or itch. I also don't have to shampoo everyday now which is also better for my hair. Just half a pill a day. Felt a little light headed for a week or so but that went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt a little light headed for a week or so but that went away. That too. Works great to improve overall density and thickness. 4-5 drops of Kirkland minoxidil in my tea (equivalent of around 7-8 mg), never had any sides.

Senior Member deitel130 Posted November 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2020 @Melvin-Moderator have you tried Finasteride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted November 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2020 I haven’t tried it, but I’ve read on the tressless Reddit page people using Minoxmax, that has fin in it. Also, check out on YouTube, More Plates More Dates channel, he’s pretty knowledgeable and has his own store for certain topicals, usually linked in each hair related video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Shifty Posted November 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2020 I have been using DHS with Nanoxidil for a few months now. Supposedly no sides. Also have not noticed a difference, may even be thicker hair in the front. Ill need to take pics side by side. I disliked foam and the regular made my scalp very dry and flaky. Easier to apply as its a spray bottle. Link to what I did to grow my hair back without a transplant. 2 year update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t trust those pharmacies, they’re usually underdosed or fake. I’d rather get a script and get the legit rx. 2 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member T95good Posted November 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2020 That's fair, though the stuff I got came vacuum sealed in original packaging from manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ciaus Posted November 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2020 Topical minoxidil has been a no-go for me for years due to skin conditions, using the oral, my local HT doc writes me the scripts. Make sure you are also well hydrated, maybe apply a scalp oil or aloe gel for a week or two at night, wash it out in the morning, see if that helps, maybe its just a matter of restoring some moisturizing balance in your skin.
