munkychunks 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2009 Afternoon, First of all, it is working splendidly (the topical water like solution). However, I am getting a lot of dandruff. Is this normal? I am considering switching to the foam to reduce dandruff but was wondering if this is going to have a negative effect (i.e. less growth) Answers on a postcard please Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pondle 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2009 Scalp irritation is one of the most commonly reported problems with minoxidil. The foam version contains none of the propylene glycol used in the original lotion, so some claim that the foam is potentially less irritating. That said, propylene glycol is widely used in cosmetics and poses no problem at all for most people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
