A member asked:
I started using minoxidil spray and after i apply it a couple hours later i have red dots and itchiness is that normal?

No: Try a different form. Solution or foam. Are you using 2% or 5%? Why are you using it? If you are allergic to minoxidil you will wish to stop it. If you are allergic to something in the carrier spray, you will be able to use it as a different form. There may be better options for you depending on the exact indication.
