Why do I have discolored nail with no trauma?

I have had a discolored/ black nail all my life without any injury or signs of trauma to the nailbed. I was wondering what is it because I've seen online that people are saying its a type of melanoma.

Answered on 31st July '24

Discolored nails without an obvious re­ason may worry you, but it's not always melanoma. Sometimes, e­xcess pigment causes this condition known as me­lanonychia. Although melanoma could cause discoloration, it's rare. A de­rmatologist's opinion provides assurance, so getting it che­cked is wise.

If you have active pimples, acne, and dark spots, it’s best to see a dermatologist. They can give you proper treatment to clear your skin and reduce dark spots. Avoid using harsh products on your own as they might make things worse.

Hypertrophic Acne scar on both sides nose only ...

Male | 25

You see­m to have hypertrophic acne scars on both side­s of your nose. These raise­d, bumpy scars happen when too much collagen forms during he­aling. Treatments like lase­r therapy or corticosteroid injections can he­lp flatten and soften them. Howe­ver, you must protect your skin from the sun, as sunlight make­s scars more noticeable.

Female | 21

New scratches have added to old ones recently, so it's important to watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus. Clean the wound with soap and water, and monitor it closely. If you notice any of these symptoms, see a doctor right away.

Hello! I'd like to consult on a medication called Doxycycline I took 2 doses wrongly by accident (2 pills 2 times a day instead of 1 pill 2 times a day) Should I wait 24 hours and take the next dose in the morning? or should I take my next dose now? also, could I check the effectiveness of doxycycline? (I have taken doxycycline before and I'm concerned it might not be effective) Thank you!

Male | 24

It's important to use medicines the right way if you want them to work well. Too much doxycycline might give you a stomach ache, make you feel sick, or throw up. If you have taken 2 doses at once, just skip that particular time and take your next dose when it is due. Even after this drug may still be effective but not in the correct manner as before; so always consult with your doctor if doubtful about its efficacy.

I applied hair removal spray on my chest and legs. Now I am feeling itchy and red rashes have appeared on my legs.

Male | 24

Itchy and red rashes are some of the common signs of sensitivity when your skin's non-acceptance is projected. This might be due to the presence of certain chemicals in the spray to which your skin is sensitive. Perhaps, you should try a gentle body lotion to reduce the itching and rashes.

A few days ago I noticed a bump on my head and I thought I just hit my head. After a couple days it started to get a bit bigger and I noticed that it was a pimple on my scalp. I popped the pimple and removed all the pus and it started to bleed for a little bit but it shortly went away. I went to take a look at it today and I noticed a small circular bald spot about 1 cm in diameter where the pimple used to be. When touching the area with my hand I noticed that the hair in that area is really sensitive and can fall out if I rummage my hand through that area. Is this a concern or is this something normal?

Male | 21

A small circular bald spot on the scalp after popping a pimple is not uncommon, but if the area is sensitive and hair is falling out, please see a dermatologist to rule out infection or other underlying conditions.
