What is causing irritation of scalp?
I have been using Xandrox15 for about 4 months, and I experienced really good regrowth. Then this red dot appeared on the front on my scalp and then my entire head became itchy. I dont think that this is from Xandrox15 because it contains glycerin and ethyl alcohol which I think is rare to have an allergic reaction to. I went to the dermantologist and he couldnt see anything wrong with my scalp and prescribled Capex shampoo but after I got the prescription I realized that it had propylene glycol in it which I am allergic to. I guess my question is what do you feel I should do.
You are experiencing an irritant reaction to propylene glycol. If you continue to use any product that contains propylene glycol, you will continue to experience that same effect. Therefore I recommend that you read labels well and avoid this ingredient.
