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 a 29-year-old guy considering taking Headzup Men tablets to help with my hair fall issues. I'm wondering if they're safe to use or if they could have any side effects. Can you provide some insights or advice on this?

you can consider taking Propecia tablets. The recommended dosage is 1mg once daily. Propecia has been shown to be effective in reducing hair loss in men. However, like all medications, it may have potential side effects such as decreased libido or erectile dysfunction in some men. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication."

I've just received my biopsy results, and it's mentioned that there's a hypocellular spindle lesion in a myxocollagenous stroma with a lot of blood vessels and hemosiderin pigment. The report also notes a low-grade spindle cell neoplasm and mentions something about an angiofibroma. I'm trying to wrap my head around this; should I be concerned about these findings? Would you recommend any specific follow-up or treatment based on these results?
