minoxidil aplication advice

[aibo82]

Hi

Ive been using spectral dnc on the front of my scalp only for over a year no problems but the latest batch is giving me a sore scalp. should it be applyed to the whole thinning area or were your thinning the most? as im puttin 1ml in one patch and now its getting sore!

This batch is very sticky I think theres a problem with it!

I would use minoxidil on the thinnest areas, as minoxidil can cause a lot of shedding. You've nothing much too lose on the thinnest areas but gain regrowth, seen as these areas need the most attention.

Also you may want to look into changing your minoxidil type if it is making your head sore.

Xandrox 5% with azelaic acid, non ppg (a type of minoxidil) is less sticky and doesnt damage your scalp. I dont use it because it makes me shed too much, but it mite be of some bennefit to you.

I usually start at the middle of my crown where I have the least hair, then I dab the applicator on each side, spreading out gradually until the applicator is empty.

Probably not a gd idea to apply everything in one small spot
