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.

I'm dealing with really dry skin on my face, but it's weird because it's only in certain areas and it's turning whitish. I already have a gel called Clinmiskin that I used for my pimples before, and it worked great. But now that the pimples are gone, can I use the same gel for the dry and whitish skin on my face?

I'm really curious about whether melanin treatment for achieving fairer skin is actually safe. Could you tell me how long the process usually takes and what the cost might be? Also, have you ever carried out skin whitening treatments using melanin? I'm a bit worried and would love to know if I can undergo this treatment and what possible side effects there could be.

These is a vague terminology and makes no sense. Kindly do not fall into the hands of such therapists. I think no Dermatologist will recommend you something like this. Basically there are depigmentation treatment protocols which modify melanocytes functioning in an orchestrated manner that results in a healthier and better skin tone, This could be a chemical peel, rejuvenation skin lasers or mesotherapy and PRP therapy. Meet a qualified dermatologist in person near you to understand these in more details.

I'm taking griseofulvin because my doctor prescribed it for a problem, but I forgot to mention that I'm already on tryptomer. Is it okay to take tryptomer and griseofulvin on the same day, like maybe griseofulvin in the morning and tryptomer before bed? I'm a bit concerned about any interactions or issues that could arise from taking them together.
