Hi dr.20 yo boy.i had 20 kg weight lost during 9 month empowered to achieve fitness but my skin losses largely. what should i do?please help me.

That is normal: When you loose significant weight in certain parts of your body.You loose fat but do not loose skin.So you may see the extra loose skin and that is expected with rapid weight loss. Only solution is if it is disfigurring you can have the extra skin surgically removed but there is no medical reason for surgery
