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 have multiple lipomas and want to avoid surgery. I read about a treatment where they inject medicine to make them disappear in 9 months. Is this method safe with no side effects? Also, can exercise help get rid of lipomas?

I'm really wondering about this ret h c cream I've been using for a few months. It gave me good results initially, so I stopped using it, but now I'm thinking of starting it again. Is it safe to reuse, and are there any side effects I should be worried about for my face? Id appreciate any advice.

I've noticed three dark moles suddenly showing up on my foreskin over the last couple of days. They're about 6mm, 5mm, and 4mm in size and are really close to each other. They don't itch or hurt, and I haven't had any other issues with them. But, I've been dealing with a UTI for a few months now. Should I be worried about these moles? Could they be a sign of some kind of skin cancer? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.
