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 a bit concerned because I've noticed these white patches on the skin around my scrotum, penis, and thigh. It's been about 1.5 years since I first saw them, and luckily they haven't grown in size, but the area feels slightly numb. Do you think I should be worried, and what might be causing this?

I'm a 35-year-old guy working as a software engineer with regular hours from 10 AM to 7 PM in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. Each summer, I'm dealing with this burning sensation on the top of my right foot, just behind my toes. It's weird because it only happens when I'm trying to sleep, causing me to wake up sometimes in the middle of the night. Any idea what could be causing this or how to get rid of it?

it can be peripheral neuropathy
