29 year old male had my 2nd transplant in Nov 2015, my 1st transplant was in Nov 2013. After my 1st transplant, I started using Minoxidil 5% and was all good, the scalp was fine and it was good until but after 6 months it started irritating the scalp and caused a thick white coat on the scalp resulting in hair loss. I immediately stopped Rogaine used Nizoral to treat it. I miss using Rogaine, tried Rogaine foam same result, any idea how i can start using minoxidil without hurting the scalp?
