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.

Is genital warts curable?

Genital warts can be treated, but they can't be cured. You're removing the warts, but you'll still have the virus that causes them. The virus may go away at some point on its own, but there's no way to know for sure. Some people will get warts again and others won't.

I'm using Minokem N2 for my beard growth since June, but recently, in the last couple of weeks, I've noticed a lot of pimples popping up on my right cheek. I'm a bit worried and wondering if I should stop using Minokem. Could you also give me some advice on how to get rid of these pimples?

I recommend stopping the use of Minokem N2% and consulting with a dermatologist for further evaluation. To help cure the pimples, you can use a topical acne treatment like Benzoyl Peroxide gel (2.5%) twice daily on the affected area after washing your face with a gentle cleanser. Additionally, you can use a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. If the pimples persist or worsen, please seek medical advice from a dermatologist.

I'm really struggling with a stubborn fungal infection that's been bothering me for the last 4 months. I've tried using amorolfine, ketoconazole, and a cream with berconazole, but it just won't go away for good. Although the redness disappears a few days after applying the medication, it keeps coming back on my bump and buttocks about a week later. What can I do to finally get rid of these annoying red patches?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
