I'm looking for a good non-alcoholic minoxidil topical solution because the one I'm using, Mintop from Dr. Reddy's, is making my scalp really itchy. Any recommendations?

You can consider alternatives like Minicheck F lotion, which is a non-alcoholic minoxidil topical solution. Another option is Traya's Minoxidil 5%, an alcohol-free solution that uses advanced lipid technology to promote hair growth.
