Scalp irritation from daily RU‑58841 – any soothing tips?

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

I’ve been using RU‑58841 at about 80 mg/ml daily for the last six weeks. After the first week I noticed a mild tingling and slight redness on the crown, which got a bit worse around day 10 – the area felt dry and a bit itchy, like a mild contact dermatitis. I stopped using any other topicals to rule them out, but the irritation persisted at a low level.

I tried switching the carrier to a simple propylene glycol‑water mix, and also added a thin layer of fragrance‑free aloe gel after the RU‑58841 dries. The dryness improved a bit, but the occasional itching is still there, especially after a workout when I sweat. Has anyone found a better vehicle or post‑application routine that calms the skin?

Also, any signs I should watch for that indicate I need to stop the compound altogether? Thanks.
