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 concerned about this connection between vitamin D deficiency and seborrheic dermatitis. My vitamin D levels are at 10.53, which seems low, and I have seborrheic dermatitis. My doctor mentioned there's no link, but I read somewhere that vitamin D deficiency might cause seborrheic dermatitis. I'm confused and would appreciate some clarity on whether there's any real connection or if it's just a coincidence. Could my low vitamin D be affecting my skin condition in some way?

I'm using Sternons lotion for psoriasis based on my doctor's advice, applying it to the middle fingernail of my left hand because of the nail pitting. But now my whole body is itching. Could this be a side effect of the lotion, or is there something else going on? I've been using it for three days and I'm taking Viterma capsules too. What do you think?
Sternon-S lotion contains steroids, which can have side effects, especially with prolonged use. The itching sensation on your entire body could be due to: 1. Steroid-induced itching: A known side effect of topical steroid use. 2. Allergic reaction: You might be allergic to one of the lotion's ingredients. 3. Systemic absorption: Although unlikely, it's possible that the steroid is being absorbed into your bloodstream, causing itching. Other factors to consider: 1. Viterma capsule: Interactions between the capsule and the lotion might be contributing to the itching. 2. Psoriasis itself: Psoriasis can cause itching, and the lotion might not be fully addressing the underlying condition.Stop using the lotion: Temporarily discontinue use to see if the itching subsides.
