Using oral Minoxidil - noticed I have been having an itchy scalp from it, not too serious. I'm scratching my hair out

John2701
is this a sign of new hair growth? or does an itchy scalp mean hair loss, been on oral minoxidil for bit over 3 months - and no signs of new hairs to be honest looks worse off from when I first started
