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 really worried because my face and neck are a lot darker than the rest of my body. I've also got these dark spots on my face, especially on both sides of my forehead, which are even darker. I recently started using a sunscreen with SPF 50, but it hasn't made any difference. I used to play outside in the sun a lot around 4 years ago, and I wonder if that's what's causing this. What can I do to fix this? I'm really looking for some advice on how to lighten these areas and get rid of the dark spots.

continue same treatment.
