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.

View allI'm worried because I've been using Melacare for the last four years, and now my face has become really oily. I'm planning to stop using it, but I'm not sure what to do. Melacare hasn't given me any allergies, but I want to reduce the oiliness. Could you suggest how I can stop this oily production on my face?
you cannot stop it abruptly, wean it off slowly in two weeks by applying alternate days for a week and two days once in a week and soo,for alternate suggestion visit your dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

I've been having these white patches on my scrotal area, and they're itching quite a bit. A friend mentioned it could be a fungal thing, so I tried using some anti-fungal powder. The itching's getting a bit better each day, but the white patches aren't really shrinking. What do you think I should do next?
It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection such as jock itch. In addition to using an antifungal powder, you can also try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply it to the affected area twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the white patches do not improve or if they worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
