Hair fall when applying hair 4 u.
A lot of hair fall is observed on applying minoxidil 5% or 10%. scalp become itchy bcz of minoxidil. it could be because of the alchohol content. could you please suggest any alternative to minoxidil with same efficiency. or any minoxidil without alchohol to avoid itching. I have been using minoxidil for few months. initially it seems to give strength to hair with density but for last 2-3 weeks it is causing itching and hence hair fall even when I just moved my hands through the hairs.

Well ur on right track. But the problem is persistent because of irregular use of medications. Safe non alcoholic versions of minoxidil are available. You can consult online or offline with an nearby dermatologist for the same.
