After 2 week using minoxidil. I have dandruff like flakes on my scalp and also hair fall problem. Stop this medication treatment or what can I do?
Answer: Dandruff Minoxidil 5% liquid can be quite drying to the scalp mainly due to its propylene glycol component. Irritation and dryness from propylene glycol can lead to flaking. If the flaking is a problem, minoxidil/Rogaine Foam proves to be less drying and irritating to the scalp. If it persists, your doctor can also prescribe medication for the dandruff.

Answer: Dandruff Minoxidil does cause dryness to the scalp which results in dandruff. Use some coconut oil at night once a week and switch to a anti dandruff shampoo like Selsun Blue or Head and shoulders and make sure you use conditioner. Hope that helps!

Answer: Dandruff-like flakes after Minoxidil usage Minoxidil, which is used to treat thinning hair, can cause dandruff-like flaking as a side effect. The alcohol in minoxidil can dry out your scalp, and after a few months of treatment, dandruff may set in. In most cases, you can solve the problem by switching to another medication or by using a dandruff shampoo accompanied by a conditioner. If your condition does not improve, consult a specialist for an detailed examination.
