natrlbuild Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I have tried to use 5% Rogaine and it burns my scalp. Itches like hell. I have used the 2% for along time with only a little itch with the generic version. The 2% Rogaine brand did not do this. It is also seemingly harder to find the 2% now because of the 5% popularity. I am a male but is the womens 2% OK to use. It won't raise my voice or anything will it? Seriously I need to find this stuff or use the womens.

Bill - Seemiller Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 natrlbuild, Where do you live? I have the same problem as you so I buy the 2% also, but never have a hard time finding it. In fact, you should buy the generic minoxidil 2% at CVS or some other pharmacy if you have them from where you are from. I live in PA in the US. I hope this helps.

Senior Member Robert_ Posted January 22, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2005 You could always just order the 2% online. You may save a few bucks that way too. -Robert ------------------------------ Check out the results of my surgical hair restoration performed by Dr. Jerry Cooley by visiting my Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantman Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hi guys! I have been using 5% rogaine with success for long time without any scalp irritation.My secrect is using folligen solution therapy spray couple minutes after applying rogaine. Folligen is really soothing scalp. I don't get itching scalp at all due with these two remedies combined.I wish this is helpfull info for any who get burning scalp from 5% rogaine use.

Senior Member Smoothy Posted April 24, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted April 24, 2005 If it burns-- stop using it- Try 5% once a day or regular Rogaine 2x a day like before. 2% works great for alot of people. Make sure your taking Propecia with it as it help MBP in other ways.--synergy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
