Question 2

I've been dealing with malar bags and someone mentioned it might be due to an underactive thyroid. If that's true, could medication help improve them? I've been using tretinoin and taking a collagen supplement, but these bags really make me look older. Are there any other treatments or options you would suggest for these slight malar bags?

take medicine

Question 3

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?

Accepted Answer

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 really worried because I've been losing a lot of hair whenever I take a head bath or even when I'm just combing it. I recently had a case of typhoid fever, and now my hair feels really soft and seems to break easily. Could this be related to the fever, and what can I do to help my hair recover?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
