Can Minoxidil foam cause skin irritations after taking a break from the product? (using minoxidil for beard)

January 26, 2018
Asked By:excelsior22 in India, IN

I had started using minoxidil liquid and used it for almost 6 months after which I took a break of 2 weeks. I started using the product from the same brand, but I started getting allergic reactions on my face, so I stopped using the product. After a gap of 3 weeks, I started using minoxidil again, primarily because the density started decreasing. I used the foam version of the product, but I started getting the similar itching and unevenness on my face again. Is this temporary or should I stop?
