Why are black lines on my nails spreading?

Patient's Query

There are black vertical lines on nails that started form big toes now it's in finger nail as well

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

The appearance of dark vertical lines on your nails can be due to several factors, including benign conditions such as pigment changes or more serious concerns like fungal infections or discoloration associated with underlying health issues. It's essential to observe any additional symptoms, like pain or changes in nail thickness. I recommend keeping your nails clean and moisturized and avoiding harsh chemicals. However, the best course of action is to schedule a visit with a dermatologist. They can evaluate your situation properly and provide tailored advice.

I am 18 years old teenager and I want to remove tanning from my whole body and I also want to reduce the melanin secretion in my body ..so please prefer me best kojic acid soap for daily use

Male | 18

Tanning is produced by the skin when it absorbs more sunlight. This is the process that involves melanin, a protein that protects the skin. To decrease tanning and melanin, try a kojic acid soap. This soap can decrease the melanin in your skin and thus brighten your skin's color. For best results, use it daily.

Hair fall may happen as a result of several reasons such as stress, unhealthy diet, or heredity. You may be the one to whom it is happening if you notice more hair on the pillow or in the shower. To support your efforts, healthy eating, stress relief, and using gentle hair products can be helpful.

I took out my infected medusa piercing thinking that would be for the best but turns out its not. What do I do?

Female | 23

infected piercings are common, removing jewelry may cause ABSCESS FORMATION.. Clean the area gently with SALINE WATER and apply an antibiotic cream.. Keep it dry and avoid touching it with dirty hands.. Do not reinsert the jewelry until COMPLETELY HEALED.. Seek medical help if symptoms worsen..
