Why is my face getting skinny?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
As you get older, you tend to lose some of the facial fat. This loss makes your face appear thinner and bonier. Medical conditions such as cancer, anorexia nervosa, bullimia nervosa, celiac disease, crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and depression may cause unintentional weight loss and skinny face.

View allI've been really anxious since my circumcision surgery 44 days ago because the stitches are still there. How much longer do these typically take to dissolve? Also, I'm curious when the sensitivity might start to decrease. Is there anything I should be doing in the meantime?
No need to worry they dissolve in 120-180 days depending upon the type of material used, sensitivity will become less with time.

I'm a 28-year-old woman, 5 feet tall and weighing 48 kg. Lately, I've been feeling like insects are crawling all over my body, and it's worse when I'm working in water. I have no known allergies or other major health issues, and I don't smoke or drink. I've been on homeopathy medicine, but it's not helping. Plus, I've been experiencing pain in my joints. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I've had this small hole in my leg for about 3 to 4 weeks now, and it just won't heal. I'm genuinely concerned and not sure what steps I should take. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this?
A persistent tiny hole in your leg can be concerning. Here are some possible causes and steps to take: *Possible Causes* 1. *Ingrown hair*: A hair growing back into the skin can cause a small hole. 2. *Folliculitis*: An infected hair follicle can lead to a small hole or crater. 3. *Pimple or abscess*: A small pimple or abscess can cause a hole. 4. *Skin infection*: Bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections can cause small holes. *Steps to Take* 1. *Keep the area clean*: Wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. *Apply antibiotic ointment*: Over-the-counter antibiotic ointments can help prevent infection. 3. *Use a warm compress*: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the area to help bring the hole to a head and encourage healing. 4. *Avoid picking or squeezing*: Resist the temptation to pick or squeeze the hole, as this can lead to further inflammation and scarring.
