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've been using this salicylic acid face wash called Speelac, as my doctor suggested, but after just two days of using it twice daily, my skin's feeling super dry and hurts a lot. It's like I can feel my skin burning when I put on any ointments. Is this something normal or should I be worried? I've also been using Acnemoist and Derivative CMS gel. Would appreciate any insights on this!

You may be experiencing an adverse reaction to the salicylic acid face wash. The dryness, pain, and burning sensation you are feeling are not normal and may indicate that the product is too harsh for your skin. I recommend stopping the use of the Speelac face wash and consult your doctor or dermatologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can use a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil or Aveeno to help soothe your skin.

I've been dealing with an issue where I keep getting red rashes and occasionally white shiny patches on my penis. The skin sometimes gets moist, and I notice a thick white substance under the foreskin. Along with this, there's itching and a burning sensation. I've been using candid b cream, and it works for a while, but the problem comes back after about a month. I even tried taking some antibacterial tablets for a week, but nothing seems to make it go away for good. This has been going on for like 5 or 6 years now, and I'm really not sure what to do next. Any advice?

Recurring genital candidiasis (thrush) for 5-6 years indicates a chronic condition. Candid B cream provides temporary relief, but the infection persists. _Consider the Following_ 1. _Antifungal resistance_: The fungus might be resistant to Candid B cream. 2. _Underlying health conditions_: Diabetes, weakened immune system, or other health issues might contribute to the recurring infection. 3. _Poor hygiene or moisture_: Trapped moisture under the foreskin or other skin folds can exacerbate the infection. _Recommended Next Steps_ 1. _Consult a urologist or dermatologist_: Get a proper diagnosis and guidance on treatment. 2. _Culture test_: A culture test can help identify the underlying cause of the infection. 3. _Prescription medication_: Your doctor might prescribe stronger antifungal medication or a combination of medications. 4. _Improve hygiene and moisture management_: Keep the genital area clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal care items.
