I've been using Tugain 5 for a while, but my doctor recently switched me to Minokem F 5. After trying it for about two months, I'm noticing a big increase in hair fall. Im kind of worried and wondering if anyone has any suggestions or ideas about what might be going on, especially since getting an appointment with my doctor isnt that easy right now.

It seems like you may be experiencing a side effect from the new medication. I would recommend discussing this with your doctor to explore other treatment options. In the meantime, you can consider using Minoxidil solution (brand name: Rogaine) as an alternative for hair loss treatment. Apply 1mL of Rogaine solution twice daily on the scalp to promote hair growth.

I've got this thing going on where I have symptoms that seem like a lipoma on my head. It's been there for about three years, and it's slowly been getting bigger. It also tends to hurt, especially when I'm stressed. I'm really curious about what might be causing this and what options I have for dealing with it. Where should I go first to get some answers or treatment for this?
