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 have several lipomas on my arms and thighs, just like my dad. Most are small, but two are about an inch in size. Is there any way to stop the smaller ones from growing and shrink the bigger ones without surgery? Could diet play a role in controlling or reducing them?
