I've been using minoxidil for about a month and I've started noticing small breakouts and my skin is really itchy. On top of that, I've been feeling more tired than usual and the dark circles under my eyes seem more noticeable, even though I'm getting a solid 8 hours of sleep. Do you think these could be side effects of using minoxidil? Should I consider stopping it?

I've been using kz lotion for dandruff, and lately, I've noticed my hair is falling out more than usual. Could this be a side effect?

Is it normal to experience this after using the lotion?
