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 wondering why my palms and feet sometimes get really hot, even though I don't have any other issues. I don't have a burning or tingling sensation, and my body temperature is normal, but it's just that my palms and feet feel really hot at times. What could be causing this?
The intermittent hot palms and feet without any other symptoms or medical conditions could be attributed to various factors, including anxiety or stress, overactive thyroid (although you mentioned no medical conditions), hormonal fluctuations, poor circulation, or sympathetic nervous system response; to alleviate symptoms, try relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga, wear breathable clothing and socks, and soak your hands and feet in cool water when they become hot, but if the issue persists, consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm curious if using a ready-made Aloe Vera Gel mixed with Vitamin E is a good idea for lightening the dark patches on my face. I've been advised by a doctor on Practo to use SPF 30 for extra protection, but I'm wondering if this Aloe Vera and Vitamin E mix might be beneficial for my skin concerns. What do you think?
Aloe vera gel and vitamin E can be a good combination to help reduce dark patches on the face. Here's why: 1. Aloe vera gel has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help soothe and calm the skin, reducing redness and irritation. 2. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to dark patches. 3. Vitamin E also has skin-lightening properties, which can help reduce the appearance of dark patches. However, keep in mind: - It's essential to choose a readymade aloe vera gel that is pure and free of harsh chemicals. - Vitamin E can be quite thick, so you may want to mix it with a few drops of a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba oil to make it easier to apply. - Always do a patch test before applying any new skincare mixture to your face to ensure you don't have any sensitivity or allergic reactions. - Consistency is key! Apply the mixture regularly, ideally once or twice a day, and be patient as it may take some time to see results. Remember to consult with a dermatologist if the dark patches persist or worsen. They can provide personalized advice and help you identify the underlying cause of the dark patches. Also, don't forget to use SPF 30 as recommended by your doctor to protect your skin from further damage!
