I'm using minoxidil 5% topical solution, and I've noticed that my scalp has been itching since I started applying it. Do you think I should stop using it, or is this a normal side effect? Would love to get your thoughts on this.

Question

I'm just wondering how accurate the herpes HSV IgG test is after three months since I was exposed. I got a negative result, but I've noticed a blister under the foreskin. Should I consider getting retested in a few months?

Question

I'm 27 and have been dealing with a lipoma for around six years. A year ago, I found two more big ones, had surgery to remove them, but now I've noticed about 15 small ones popping up on my body. They're quite tiny at the moment. Can you give me some advice on how to get rid of them while they're still small? Also, I've just started taking homeopathy medicine a couple of days ago. I hit the gym daily - does working out make these lipomas grow more? Plus, I take whey protein. Could this be a factor?

Question

I'm noticing these fat balls in my body, especially around my stomach, hands, and thighs. They're quite small right now, but I'm not sure what to do about them. Who should I reach out to for advice, and what kind of treatment options should I consider?
