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 dealing with these annoying acne-like bumps on my hips and the back of my thighs. They don't bother me all the time, but when they do, they can be really itchy and painful. After some Googling, I think it might be folliculitis. I'm already on Isotretinoin for the acne on my face, and my lipid and liver function tests are normal. Do you have any suggestions for an ointment or something that could help with this?
Candid cream for local application for 7 days, tab flucanozole 1 tablet once a week for 2 weeks is advised for your fungal infection.And for follicullitis u can take tablet Augmentin duo 625 mg thrice daily for 5 days lastly for acne Clinsol gel is advised to the patient for 3 weeks, if any side-effects kindly consult dermatologist.

I've been dealing with hives and took longifene for a week, which seemed to help initially. But now my cheeks are red, and after seeing a doctor, it's just gotten worse with itching all over my face, small pimples, and even more redness. What's going on, and what should I do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or a skin condition. To help with the itching, redness, and small pimples on your face, you can try taking cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply hydrocortisone cream 1% topically on the affected areas twice a day. Make sure to avoid any triggers that may worsen your symptoms, such as certain foods or skincare products. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
