After quitting minoxidil I've been getting serious seb derm, super irritation, redness, flaking, itchy. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

I've started up on the minoxidil again - now I'm worried it might make things worse.

Right now it's CVS, sometimes Kirkland - generic stuff. As for shampoo, I was using the Jason products but now since my Seb Derm had flared I'm using T-Sal. I feel it's more effective and less harsh than Nizoral.

So I waited for my scalp to get better and the fallout lessened. I started to apply 2% minoxidil this time and once again, heavy fallout with the next washing. Can anyone advise on this? I'm not sure what to do. If it was a shed I'd just see it through, but sheds don't start right away, right?

Any info or opinions would be welcomed. Thanks.
