I'm 31 years old and I've noticed a fatty tissue under my right armpit. It's not a lipoma, so I'm not sure what it is or what I should do about it. Can you help me figure out what steps to take next?

I'm really worried about my brother's hair loss problem. He's tried so many medicines but hasn't seen any results yet. He recently stumbled across this product called Reffolium online, and we're wondering if it's actually effective for hair loss or just another scam. Also, we're considering options like hair transplant or weaving. I'm curious if hair transplants are safe or if there are any side effects he should be aware of. If he goes down this path, do you have any recommendations for a specialist he should consult?

Refolium would work in nourishing and giving strength to hair,this will help in hair fall upto some extent,balanced diet and good rest is the mainstay, regarding hair transplantation visit Dermatologist for appropriate approach.
