Noticed mild scalp irritation after starting RU-58841, anyone else?

I started using RU-58841 about two weeks ago, mixing 50 mg in 1 mL of propylene glycol and applying it to my scalp each morning. I’ve been tracking any changes in a simple notebook, noting redness, itchiness, and how the skin feels. Around day three I felt a light tingling that turned into a mild rash along the hairline where I applied the most.

It wasn’t painful, just uncomfortable and a bit flaky after washing. I paused the application for 24 hours, then resumed with half the dose and spread it more thinly. The irritation faded after a couple of days and hasn’t returned since.

I’m wondering if others have seen similar scalp sensitivity when they first start, or if it’s just a reaction to the vehicle I’m using. I plan to keep a log of application site reactions and maybe try a different solvent next cycle to see if that helps.
