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 some dry skin and cracks on my scrotum, and there's a sticky fluid coming out. This has been happening for the past two days. I've also been having issues with a fungal infection that caused red rashes on my thighs, which I'm already getting treatment for. I'm kind of worried about why this new symptom has come up. Could it be related to the fungal infection treatment, or is it something entirely different? Any advice on what I should do next would be really helpful.

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.
