Question:
Is it common for people to have problems with Rogaine? I have been using it for awhile and it just makes me itchy and flaky without any results. Is there something else that might work?
Answer:
It is quite common for patients to have complaints of dryness, itchiness and flaking after using the product Rogaine/Minoxidil. Rogaine has recently come out with a new version which is in a foam form. The ingredients that caused those topical side effects have been removed and the number of patients with those same complaints has significantly reduced. There is also Nizoral 2% shampoo which is a prescription that can be used on a periodic basis to combat the side effects from Rogaine and it has also been theorized to help slow down the progression of hair loss.
