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 dealing with a really persistent ringworm infection for about a year now. I've seen a few dermatologists and the treatments they gave me worked while I was taking them, but as soon as I finished the course, the infection just came right back. I've tried using ointments like Terbifine and Onabet, and more recently, Dk gel, Nailrox cream, and tablets like Itaspor and Xyzal. I even used Absorbz soap. I used everything as prescribed up to last month, but here I am again, facing the same itching and rashes. Is there any way to get rid of this permanently?

yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent

I've been dealing with this pimple on my areola for about a year now. It started off small, and I squeezed it once, which caused this white sticky stuff to come out. But this past week, it got bigger, turned red, and was filled with pus. It actually burst on its own today and got smaller, but it's still red. I'm on lung TB meds, and I'm also getting these little bumps like pimples on my forehead. I've had acne issues before. When I asked a gynaecologist, they mentioned it could be a breast abscess from the TB meds and suggested squeezing it more and taking Augmentin 625 duo for five days. Is this okay? Could taking Augmentin affect my TB treatment? Does this kind of reaction happen when someone is on TB meds? It's new to me, and I'm getting a bit worried.

Yes,continue same treatment.Tab augmentin duo 625mg thrice daily ,orally for 5 days. If symptoms persists surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.
