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 a bit worried about a burn I got on my foot from accidentally touching the bike silencer a couple of days ago. There's no pain unless water gets on it, then it really starts to hurt. I'm looking for a good ointment to help with it. I've attached a picture of the woundcould you take a look and suggest something that might help?

You can use soframycin or megaheal ointment for better results

I'm dealing with dandruff and someone suggested I try KZ lotion. Can you tell me how to use it properly? Like, should I apply it a few hours before showering, and does my hair need to be dry or wet when applying it? Also, do I need to use any oil beforehand?

CreamGelLotion: Wash and dry the infected area of the skin. Take a small amount of creamgellotion on the finger and gently rub on the clean and dry affected area and surrounding skin. It is only for external use. Avoid contact of creamgellotion with the nose, mouth, or eyes. In case it comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Wash your hands before and after using creamgellotion if hands are not the affected area to prevent the spread of infection.Shampoo: Wash your hair with the shampoo and leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes. Then, rinse thoroughly with water.
