I'm currently using minoxidil 5% for my male pattern baldness and getting PRP treatments too. But the minoxidil is giving me dandruff, and I've been washing my hair every other day. I'm wondering if it's okay or even beneficial to wash my hair every day instead. Any advice on this?
Head wash three times a day is sufficient, dandruff issues could be due to fungal infection u can use topic antifungal medications, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment..
