View allI'm really concerned because over the last six months, I've noticed my face and neck skin turning dark. I used to have a lighter complexion, but now this change has really affected the areas around my neck, jaws, and chin. On top of that, the skin on my cheeks is also starting to darken. I'm also managing diabetes, so I'm wondering if there could be a connection. What might be causing this, and is there a way to reverse it?
That could be acanthosis ,correct your BMI and visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm dealing with Spine Tb and I've been on medication for about 3 months now. But I've put on 6 kg in just one month and I'm worried because I also have a Grade 1 fatty liver. It's making me feel heavier, and I'm finding it harder to breathe. What can I do to lose some weight?

Is there any truth to the idea that growing or shaving a beard can affect height at around 15.7 years old? Also, what exactly is the age of puberty? I'm a bit curious and confused about how these things are related.
Growing a beard at the age of 15.7 does not directly affect your height. Height is primarily determined by genetics and the growth plates in your bones, which usually close around the age of 18 to 21. Puberty typically starts between ages 10 and 14 for girls and 12 to 16 for boys, during which growth and physical changes occur.
