I've been using xpecia gel and keraxl hair serum for about two weeks just like my dermatologist recommended. I'm concerned because Im not seeing any changes, and Ive read that my hair should be shedding if the minoxidil is doing its thing. Plus, my hair is really short since I've recently gone bald. What should I be doing differently?

Im really concerned about my hair and scalp. I've been struggling with this intense itchiness and there are bumps on my scalp. Its so embarrassing because people give me disgusted looks whenever I'm out. Ive seen two different doctors, and they say they can't see anything, but clearly something is going on. There seems to be something on my hair and body that looks like dust particles when I brush my hair. What could this be? Could you please help me understand whats happening?
