I've got around 13 to 15 lipomas on my hand and I'm really hoping to find a natural way to treat them without surgery. Are there any effective home remedies or lifestyle changes that might help shrink or get rid of them? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife and would prefer a gentler approach if possible. What options do I have?

No proven natural cure for lipomas; only surgery removes them‚Äîmonitor if small and non-painful.

I'm 25 and dealing with hair thinning and bald patches. My dermatologist suggested PRP and minoxidil for about 3-6 months. I've read that when you stop using minoxidil, the hair gains disappear. So why would the doctor recommend it for a short period? Will all the hair I get from PRP and minoxidil just fall out once I stop using minoxidil after a short time?

I've been dealing with a really intense hair fall issue recently, and it's freaking me out a bit. About two months ago, I had dengue fever, and just about a week ago, I started losing a lot of hair, like 70 to 80 strands a day. I'm not sure if it's related, but it's really concerning. Could this be connected to my dengue fever? What should I do about it?

I'm really worried about this whole HIV testing thing. If I'm getting tested like two months after a possible exposure, is that result considered conclusive, or should I be thinking about getting tested again later just to be sure?

After 2 months, then hiv test after 6 months is advised to the patient.
