I'm dealing with this skin issue where I get these dark patches and a lot of itching all over my body. Sometimes it gets so bad that I end up scratching till I bleed. It's gotten really concerning because my bum has turned completely dark. What could be causing this, and how can I treat it?

I've got these lumps under my skin, which I've learned are called lipomas. They're not painful, but I'm curious if there's any treatment or medication out there that could get rid of them. The doctors Ive spoken to say they're harmless and don't require medicine, but I'm still a bit concerned. Could you give me some advice on this?

While there's no oral medication to cure lipoma, treatment options like steroid injections, liposuction, or surgical removal can be considered

I'm curious about something I've heard for my husband's hair. Someone mentioned using Morr F5 for hair regrowth, and I'm wondering if it could also help reduce hair fall. Is it mainly just for hair growth, or does it help with both?

Continue same treatment.
