Do you mind taking a pic of your rear-head just so I can see how many grafts your crown needs.

(thanks in advance)

I couldn't stay on the topical because of scalp conditions that it irritated. 

@ciaus Same for me.  So you didn't notice any skin irritation from the oral min?

Nope, no skin irritation at all. Unless someone has a weird allergy to minoxidil that I've never heard of, it's not a skin irritant by itself. The skin irritation from the topical comes from the other ingredients in the formula, like propylene glycol, that help to penetrate the skin so that the minoxidil gets absorbed.

That's good to know.  Definitely have to look into this!
