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 seborrheic dermatitis and I'm using Onabet SD solution. I'm a bit unsure about how long I should leave it on my hair before washing it out. Also, how many times a week should I be applying it for the best results? Any advice would be really helpful!

For Onabet SD solution, apply it to the affected scalp area, leave it on for 1-2 hours or overnight before washing, and use it 2-3 times a week for 2-4 weeks or as directed by your doctor for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis.
