Should one stop using Minoxidil topical lotion if it leads to side effects? Is there any alternative available in such a scenario? What should one do to minimise irritation and itching effect? Dr John Watts answers these questions. So far, he has performed over 2000+ hair transplant surgeries successfully. CH Manish asks: Sir, I used Minoxidil topical lotion but it has led to an itching sensation and caused irritation on my scalp. How do I manage such a situation? Please explain. Minoxidil, a topical medication approved by the US FDA, is a widely used treatment for promoting hair growth and preventing hair loss. While generally well-tolerated, it’s essential to be aware of potential side effects, just as with any medication. This article explores the benefits of Minoxidil while addressing potential drawbacks and offering guidance for managing side effects. In this educational video, Dr John Watts, a dermatologist, sheds light on the potential downsides of Minoxidil, specifically itching and irritation on the scalp. While responding to the query raised by CH Manish, Dr John Watts advised him to immediately stop using Minoxidil if it leads to any adverse side effects like itching and irritation. Discontinuation Upon Irritation: Dr Watts emphasizes that if one experiences itching or irritation after using Minoxidil, it’s crucial to stop using it immediately. This allows the side effects to subside naturally. Cautious Reintroduction: Once the irritation clears, you can consider restarting Minoxidil with caution. However, if the itching and irritation return, it’s best to discontinue Minoxidil permanently and explore alternative hair loss solutions in consultation with your dermatologist. Alternative Formulations and Minimizing Irritation: For individuals with allergic or skin sensitivities, Dr Watts suggests opting for water-based Minoxidil instead of alcohol-based formulations. Water-based solutions may be less irritating for some users. Here are some additional tips to minimize irritation: Managing Itching and Irritation: In his advisory, Dr Watts recommends applying plain aloe vera gel to the affected area for relief from itching and irritation. Aloe vera’s anti-inflammatory properties can help calm the scalp. Antihistamine Consideration: In cases of persistent itching, antihistamine medications might be necessary. These medications can be purchased over the counter or prescribed by a doctor, depending on the severity. Seeking Medical Attention: Dr Watts emphasizes that in severe cases, where the side effects are significant or accompanied by other concerning symptoms like swelling, blistering, or difficulty breathing, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention at an emergency department. Conclusion: Minoxidil can be a valuable tool for hair loss, but a personalized approach is essential. While generally safe, side effects like itching and irritation can occur.
