A member asked:
I am using minoxidil spray 2 percent to treat traction alopecia and it's been a couple days and i have a little bit of itchiness is that normal?

No: You may be allergic to one of the ingredients in the minoxidil. Traction alopecia is from trauma and your hair will likely grow back in a few months after the stress is removed.

Skin rxn- allergy?: Allergic reactions can happen with all kinds of drugs, review the symptoms with your doctor to make sure you shouldn't avoid that drug altogether. If you experience redness, hives, or breathing difficulties, this could be a more intense reaction the next time, be careful !!
