5% Minoxidil burns scalp, Help!

[natrlbuild]

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.

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.

You could always just order the 2% online. You may save a few bucks that way too.

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.

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.
