View allI'm really concerned because I've been using minoxidil for about 8 months now, and lately I've noticed that my hair is falling out quite a bit. It's like every time I comb my hair, apply the minoxidil, or even just touch my scalp, I see 7 or 8 strands coming out. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
Excessive hair fall after using minoxidil for 8 months is concerning. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Minoxidil side effect_: Hair fall is a rare but possible side effect of minoxidil. 2. _Over-stimulation_: Long-term use of minoxidil can cause over-stimulation of hair growth, leading to hair fall. 3. _Underlying condition_: An underlying condition, such as androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, or scalp inflammation, might be contributing to hair fall. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult a dermatologist_: Stop using minoxidil and consult a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause of hair fall. 2. _Reduce minoxidil frequency_: If the dermatologist recommends continuing minoxidil, try reducing the frequency of application to once a day or every other day. 3. _Add a scalp serum_: Use a scalp serum containing ingredients like saw palmetto, biotin, or keratin to help strengthen hair follicles and reduce hair fall. 4. _Maintain a gentle hair care routine_: Avoid excessive heat styling, use a gentle shampoo, and minimize combing or brushing to reduce hair fall.

I'm dealing with these really itchy light brown spots that turn into dark black spots after I scratch them. It's so hard not to scratch because they itch so much! They're mostly on my lower legs and lower back. A couple of years ago, I had the same thing on my arms and hips, and those black spots never went away. Now it's flaring up again. What could be causing this, and what can I do to treat it?

I've been dealing with multiple lipomas on my hands and thighs and I'm really hoping there's a treatment option besides surgery. I tried homeopathic medicine before but didn't see any improvement - are there other effective treatments I could explore?
Surgery is the most effective option for multiple lipomas; non-surgical treatments have limited results.
