Minoxidil causing dandruff-like flakes on hair from drying skin. Any suggestions?

May 18, 2016
Asked By:Karim Abu Ras in Dubai, AE

Does Minoxidil affect the hair's scalp healthiness if it dries and peels of dry skin or makes the scalp dry? I've been using it for a while and started having dandruff-like flakes after itching or so... Not from over shampooing it. What can I do to stop this?
