Possible Minoxidil reaction?(with pictures)

[Gym123]

first pic taken month into minoxidil second taken 2 months in and the last 3 today which marks about 3 and a half months in. granted I'm recovering from the flu so could look worse than it is. Been using 5% foam twice daily. been feeling swollen fatigue eyes burning and as you can see above and under my eyes are not pretty. anyone have any suggestions? should i stop minoxidil completely or use it once daily for the enxt couple of weeks.

Had similar reaction. Eyes burning. First thought I was having seasonal allergies. Decided to try once daily on the minoxidil foam instead of the twice daily. Eyes cleared up within a few days. Had to be the minoxidil I surmise.

I also been putting it on after showering on damp skin which is not recommended. So I'll try it on my dry scalp again, with a smaller amount twice daily I'll keep you all posted.

You might have something with the gas idea. I have an air filter system in my house and it's very sensitive to airborne contaminants. Every time I use the foam, it kick into high gear to clean the air.

Makes sence only really started when i switched to foam from liquid about a month ago or so.
