I've been using morrf5 for about five months now. It was working well and really helped with my hair fall, but over the last couple of weeks, I'm noticing that the density on my left temple is decreasing, and my scalp is becoming more visible, even though I'm still using minoxidil. Could this be just a shedding phase, or is there something else going on?

I'm experiencing a lot of hair fall and I'm wondering about the best time to take the Tricogro tablet. Could you advise me on that? Also, are there any other medicines or treatments for hair growth that you would recommend? And about weight loss, I've noticed an increase of about 8kg over the past year. I've got excess fat and can't seem to figure out what to do. Any advice or medication suggestions for managing this weight gain would really help.

I've recently undergone RF treatment for my Xanthelasma, and while the wound has healed, the skin there doesn't quite match the rest of my skin tone. Do you have any recommendations for creams or treatments that could help even it out?

I would recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone to help lighten the skin and reduce any remaining discoloration. You can try using a cream like Melalite Forte cream, applying a thin layer on the affected area once daily in the evening. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect the skin and prevent further darkening.

I'm really worried about these freckles on my nose and cheeks. It seems like they're spreading now. I've had them since I was about 12 or 13, but I didn't think much of it back then. Now I'm just hoping to have clear skin. Can you help with what I should do?
