RU-58841 scalp irritation – any tips to reduce it?

Posted by tracker_jade in Safety & Side Effects - 1 points, 0 comments.

I started using RU-58841 topically about three weeks ago, mixing 75 mg in 1 mL of propylene glycol and applying it once daily to my thinning areas. Anecdotally, I’ve noticed mild redness and a bit of flaking around the application site after the first week. It’s not painful, but the irritation is enough that I’m wondering if I should cut the frequency or dilute it further.

Has anyone else dealt with similar scalp irritation, and did you find a specific vehicle or dosing schedule that helped? I’m also curious if taking a break a couple days a week makes a difference without losing the benefit. Any safety tips or personal tweaks would be appreciated. Thanks.
