After application of Minoxidil 5%, I have dandruff-like flakes on my scalp.

sachin2708
Hi.. 1. Age 34 yrs male, using Minoxidil 5% twice a day. 2. After application i have dandruff like white flakes on my scalp which looks very unhygienic. Although I am using 'CANDID B' lotion (Clotrimazole+Beclomethasone) but that does'nt help much. 3. I am also using Tab BIOTINE once a day. Please advice....
