A member asked:
I am using foam minoxidil and i it dry my hair sometimes, so i want to use hair serum. can i use it or not, and how long shoud i wait before applying it? also what best hair serum to use?

Topical 5% minoxidil can be very effective in treating many forms of hair loss. It can cause some drying of the hair and some itching on the scalp. It usually takes several mos to see results. Not sure that " hair serums " will work as well. Advise you to see dermatologist for further eval and treatment of your scalp hair loss.
