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 really struggling with warts in my beard area. It's been going on for about three years now. I've tried homeopathy, but unfortunately, I didn't see any results. I even went for laser treatment, but new warts popped up just ten days after the procedure. Could you suggest a permanent solution for getting rid of these warts?

Warts can be stubborn to treat, but there are effective options available. One common treatment for warts is Salicylic acid, which is available in the form of Mediplast pads. You can apply these pads directly on the warts daily. Another effective option is Cryotherapy, which involves freezing the warts off with liquid nitrogen. Your doctor can use Veregen cream, which contains green tea extract, to treat the warts. Additionally, Imiquimod cream can also be used to boost the immune response against the warts. It's important to follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for these treatments.

I've noticed that my hair keeps turning white more and more since last year. Is this something normal as you age, or should I be worried? Are there any specific reasons this might be happening, and is there anything I can do to prevent more of my hair from turning white so soon?

Premature graying of hair can be due to various factors such as genetics, stress, nutritional deficiencies, or medical conditions. To help slow down the graying process, you can try taking a supplement containing Biotin and Vitamin B12. You can also use a hair product like Minoxidil solution to help with hair growth and pigmentation. Additionally, make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
