I'm looking for a minoxidil product at 5% strength that doesn't have alcohol or propylene glycol. The one I'm using right now is in lotion form, but it's causing some really bad itching. Do you have any recommendations for something else I could try?

-You can try a minoxidil 5% foam instead of lotion, as its alcohol- and propylene glycol-free, reducing the chances of itching. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist for alternatives.

I'm experiencing some really uncomfortable skin issues. I've got these rashes that are making my skin itch like crazy, and it's become super red and even has black spots appearing. It's getting to the point where my skin feels like it's burning, and the irritation is quite unbearable. I'm really worried about what's going on. Could you please tell me what might be causing this and what I should do?
You may be experiencing an allergic reaction on your skin. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to reduce itching and redness. Additionally, you can apply a soothing cream like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help with irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.
