Does minoxidil cause skin shedding??

Hey guys,
I have been on the minoxidil and nizoral combo for about a month now. I am using a 5% solution twice daily (morning.. aka when i get out of bed, and night).
I have however noticed recently that when I scratch my head in the area in which I am balding and am applying the minoxidil that it is like there is another layer of skin or somthing there. With fairly gentle scratching with my finger nails I pull away chunks of what looks to be skin with bits of hair in it. They may only be 1/2 a cm in size, maybe smaller.

Is this normal? Is this my skin, or is the minoxidil forming some type of coating on my head lol?

Thanks!
