Husband started using this a few weeks ago. First he had itching & flakiness of the scalp. Now he's dealing with a severe allergic reaction to the product. Swelling of his neck, lips, eyes and a rash on his face, neck, back, legs and chest and had a 24 hr - 101 fever. Has seen 2 drs and now taking meds to help with his reaction to this product.

I am 44 years old and when a 9 year old child said to me that I was bald, I had to do something. I have been using Rogaine for 3 years and my hair has never look so thick and has never been so long. I will use it for the rest of my life.
