I've got this yellow spot on my inner thigh that's about the size of a thumbnail, and it's halfway up my leg. I dont recall getting hurt or anything like that, and I dont play any sports. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

The yellow spot on your inner thigh could be a fatty deposit, a sebaceous cyst, or a skin condition like eczema or dermatitis, but it's also possible it could be a symptom of a more serious condition, so it's best to consult a dermatologist for a proper examination and diagnosis to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm 29 and dealing with baldness, and I'm considering hair transplantation. I don't know much about the process, though. Could you tell me about any side effects or other important details I should be aware of?

Hair transplant may not be the immediate or only solution for you. Consider medical treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, or PRP first, as they can slow or even reverse hair loss. You are too young for a transplant, but its usually best to wait until your hair loss pattern is more stable.
