Started using minoxidil 5% foam coming up four weeks ago. The last week ive had itching all over, a bruise like feeling on my crown (an area im not applying the product) My question is if i discontinue use will i lose more hair. So far i dont seem to have had a huge amount of hair loss due to the minoxidil but so scared im going to shed if i stop use?
