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 a 30-year-old guy and my hair's been thinning out with some mild bald spots showing up. My dermatologist recommended I take Finax 1 Tablet once every day, but I've heard it could have sexual side effects. Could you tell me if these side effects are common or if they might cause problems with family planning in the future? I'm a bit concerned about how it could impact me sexually as time goes on. Would love to hear your thoughts.

No the dose that you are prescribed with is low and ideal dose no need to worry follow your doctors advice and consume biotin rich foods

I've had keratosis pilaris for over 10 years and nothing seems to help - would plastic surgery be an option to finally get rid of these bumps? I've tried all the creams and treatments but my skin still looks rough and red

While plastic surgery isn't a common or typically effective treatment for keratosis pilaris (KP), there are other options that can help improve the appearance of your skin. Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition that is generally harmless and often resolves on its own with age.

I'm 27 and have been dealing with a lipoma for around six years. A year ago, I found two more big ones, had surgery to remove them, but now I've noticed about 15 small ones popping up on my body. They're quite tiny at the moment. Can you give me some advice on how to get rid of them while they're still small? Also, I've just started taking homeopathy medicine a couple of days ago. I hit the gym daily - does working out make these lipomas grow more? Plus, I take whey protein. Could this be a factor?

No need to worry,thats called durcums disease and those lipomas are harmless,if they are concerning you cosmetically,visit Plastic surgeon for appropriate management
