I'm about to get married soon and I'm really worried about these lipomas I have on my body, just like my dad had. Can they spread to someone else, like through air, water, or even sexually? I'm kind of freaking out about the possibility of passing them to my future wife. Could really use some clarity on this.

Lipomas are non-cancerous growths of fat cells under the skin. They are not contagious and cannot spread to another person through any means, including air, water, or sexual activity. Lipomas are typically harmless and do not require treatment unless they are causing symptoms. If you or your wife have any concerns about lipomas or any other health issues, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

I've been dealing with a really intense hair fall issue recently, and it's freaking me out a bit. About two months ago, I had dengue fever, and just about a week ago, I started losing a lot of hair, like 70 to 80 strands a day. I'm not sure if it's related, but it's really concerning. Could this be connected to my dengue fever? What should I do about it?
