I've been eating book and toilet paper since I was 12, and now I'm 21. Lately, I've been dealing with breast lumps, skin irritation, itchiness, and breakouts since June 2017. I also keep getting regular vaginal infections. Could this be related to my paper-eating habit, and what should I do about these symptoms?

I've just started using Minokem F solution 5 and I'm a bit confused about how it works. Does it only help with hair growth on the crown area, or can it also be effective for the front of the scalp? My main issue is a receding hairline, not balding on the crown. Is this treatment going to help with that?
