Why is my face getting skinny?

Doctor 1

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.

I'm trying to figure out how to use the lotions my doctor recommended for white patches on my lips. They told me to use Melbild and Tacrovera, but I'm not sure which one should go on first or if it matters at all. Can I just apply them in any order? I'm really hoping to get this right.

The Melbild lotion should be applied first on the white patches on your lips. Apply a thin layer of Melbild lotion on the affected areas once daily, preferably at night. After the Melbild lotion has dried, you can then apply the Tacrovera lotion. Use the Tacrovera lotion as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily, in the morning and at night. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions carefully for the best results.
