rogaine and seborrheic dermatitis
after applying rogaine for over a year and noticing a marked increase in hair growth my scalp started flaking off in the areas where i was applying the solution. it was not just a mild flaking but scab like with hair coming out in little clumps as if the skin was flaking off down to the hair roots. i quit applying the rogaine and my hair has thinned noticible although my scalp has cleared up. anything i can do to resume applying the rogaine without the adverse reaction? thanks
You might want to try a propylene-glycol free version of minoxidil. You need a prescription for this.
