I have been using minoxidil for past 2-3 months and its causing irritation to my scalp, i want to know if there is any alcohol free minoxidil solution?

Minoxidil foam.: Good for you to be starting treatment early. If minoxidil works for you, it's important to be starting sooner because the longer you wait the harder it is to gain the lost hair back. The liquid forms can cause scalp itching and irritation, so try foam which has been shown to be less irritating. Most drug stores have generic foam versions. Good luck!
