I've had these fat glands on my body since childhood and they keep increasing over time. They don't hurt but I really want to get rid of them. A doctor told me it's hereditary and harmless but I'm still bothered by them. Are there any medicines that can dissolve them or will I need surgery to remove them

Lipomas, which are benign fatty growths under the skin, are typically harmless and don't require treatment unless they cause discomfort or bother you cosmetically. While there are no medications to dissolve them, surgical removal is an option if you wish to get rid of them

I've been having extreme hair fall for over 5 months now, and its freaking me out because I've never experienced this before. My hair is thinning so fast, and I have no idea what to do. My thyroid is okay, according to the tests, so that's not it. I also recently moved to a new city; could the change in environment be messing with my hair? I even tried homeopathic medicine, but it's not helping. Can you suggest some solutions or tell me what might be wrong?

Excessive hair fall can be distressing. Since your thyroid levels are normal, let's explore other possible causes: *Possible Causes* 1. *Environmental changes*: As you suspected, the new environment might be contributing to your hair fall. 2. *Stress*: Moving to a new city can be stressful, which may lead to hair fall. 3. *Nutritional deficiencies*: Lack of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, or biotin can cause hair fall. 4. *Hormonal imbalance*: Although your thyroid levels are normal, other hormonal imbalances might be contributing to hair fall. 5. *Hair care*: Changes in water quality, hair products, or styling habits might be affecting your hair. *Recommendations* 1. *Consult a dermatologist*: A professional evaluation will help determine the underlying cause of your hair fall. 2. *Maintain a healthy diet*: Ensure you're getting essential nutrients, including iron, zinc, biotin, and omega-3 fatty acids. 3. *Reduce stress*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises. 4. *Use gentle hair care products*: Switch to sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, and avoid excessive heat styling. 5. *Consider supplements*: If your dermatologist recommends it, consider taking supplements like biotin, vitamin B, or fish oil to support hair growth.
