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.

I'm dealing with some rash on my penis that's really painful and red. I'm a married guy, and it's affecting my sex life. There's also some itching, and even after using sefromycin, it's not improving. I'm uncircumcised and not sure who to talk to or what to do about it. My only partner is my wife, and we occasionally have oral sex. I really want to find a solution quickly. What do you suggest?

I'm dealing with some irritation near my genital area, and it's been itching for the past 3 to 4 days. There's also a mild white spot. I'm wondering if it's okay to use kitoford cream for this. What should I do?

Kitoford cream contains a combination of Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone. It is commonly used to treat fungal infections and inflammation of the skin. You can apply a thin layer of Kitoford cream to the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Make sure to clean and dry the area before applying the cream. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
