I'm really worried because I've got these lipid deposits around my eyes. I've been taking medication for my cholesterol, but these deposits just aren't going away. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should be doing?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The deposits near your eyes could be xanthelasma, which are yellowish cholesterol deposits. In addition to your current cholesterol medication, you can discuss with your doctor about adding a statin medication like atorvastatin to further lower your cholesterol levels and help reduce the deposits. The dosage would depend on your specific condition, so please consult your doctor for the appropriate prescription.

I'm struggling with being really thin, almost underweight, and it's been tough because I really want to gain some weight. I've tried things like eating small meals and adding fruit juices, but nothing seems to work. I thought about using a mass gainer like Endura Mass, but every time I use stuff like that or even multivitamins, I get bad acne. I feel like using a mass gainer is my last option, but I'm worried about the acne coming back. Any advice on what I can do?
While mass gainers are an option, it's important to select the right type and ingredients that suit your body. Focus on whole food sources, consider low-acne-risk alternatives for supplements, and maintain good skincare to balance both weight gain and skin health. Consulting professionals for personalized plans is always a good idea.

I've been dealing with hairfall for a while and I've been relying on Keraglo Eva for the past seven years. Before that, I took Keraglo Forte. The thing is, if I stop using them even for just a couple of weeks, my hair starts falling out at a crazy rate. I'm concerned about potential side effects and I'm really hoping to find another solution. Do you think switching to homeopathy might help?
