Are Black Nail Lines Harmful Diseases?

Patient's Query

Nail black lines any harmfull dises

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

The black lines on your nails may be due to a condition called linear melanonychia. To describe it in layman's terms, it can be a black or brown streak on your nail. It can result from traumas to the nail, mole, or even some medications. If such a symptom appears, it is best to get it checked by a dermatologist for safety.

Remove acne marks bast products

Male | 32

Acne marks can be treated using treatment options that are recommended by a dermatologist in the context of the condition’s extent. I warn against OTC products, which are rarely tailored to your specific skin type and may, therefore, exacerbate the condition.

Male | 26

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for dark spots and pigmentation on the face. The best approach is to visit a dermatologist to get a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs. The dermatologist may recommend a combination of topical medications, light treatments, and laser therapy to help minimize the appearance of discoloration.

Treatment for razor bumps in bikini area, have used ketoconazole cream for it but still no result would love the assistance of a dermatologist here to help out with the treatment

Female | 21

Razor bumps in the bikini area are a common cause for concern. Injuries to follicles that occur through shaving are usually behind these bumps. They are typically red, itchy, and with small bumps. When ketoconazole cream does not help, another alternative is the use of a mild hydrocortisone cream that can help to control inflammation. Put on some lotion to the part all the time so it stays moisturized.

I am 21 year old female... extreme hair fall is there from last 1 month....what should I have to do

Female | 21

You are dealing with a problem of a lot of hair falling out, which can be one of those things that worry you. Stress, poor nutrition, or hormonal changes are common causes of your age. It's crucial to consume a healthy and balanced diet packed with vitamins and minerals. Try relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, guided imagery, and yoga to manage stress. Gently using hair products and not tying hairstyles tightly can also be beneficial.
