Problems with fecal / flatulence incontinence

I have had a problem with fecal….but mainly flatuence incontinence since a forceps delivery in 1994. The inner sphincter muscle I believe does not join up in a complete circle. It has ruined my life.

Milk spots around the eyes

On behalf of a member: I have like milk spots around the eye area. I have spoken with various people, unfortunately no one seems to know how to get rid of them. I am very self conscious of them, as I have never had any problems with my skin before. I am 72 years old. I don’t know if this has any bea...
