Moon-Face
"Moon-Face" is a term used to describe a round, puffy face that can occur as a side effect of certain medications, particularly corticosteroids. This condition is often associated with conditions like Cushing's syndrome, where excess cortisol leads to fat redistribution in the face.
The appearance of a moon-shaped face can be distressing for individuals, as it may alter their physical appearance. While it is not harmful in itself, it can indicate underlying health issues that may require medical attention. Treatment often involves addressing the underlying cause or adjusting medication dosages.
