Why do I have black lines on my fingernail?
I have very light black horizontal line on my fingernail

Answered on 23rd May '24
Typically it's nothing to worry about. These lines are usually due to small traumas to the nail or sometimes nutritional deficiencies. If the line is new and you can’t remember any injury, it’s best to keep an eye on it. Eating well-rounded meals and being gentle with your nails can help prevent these lines. If you notice any changes or other symptoms, seek advice from a dermatologist.

Male | 68
The rashes are an external factor of the skin and can appear as if they are caused by itchy skin or red-bumpy skin. They can be triggered by things like allergies, infections, or skin disorders. For the sake of cleanness, let your skin be clean and dry. Also, make use of mild moisturizers. If it's not getting any improvement, it's better to refer to a dermatologist.

I am facing acne issues in face and they are leaving marks as well on face.
Female | 28
Many people deal with acne. These are small red pimples that appear on the face. Sometimes these pimples go away but leave behind ugly marks. They happen when oil mixes with dead skin cells and blocks the tiny holes in your skin. To avoid this, cleanse your face every day using mild soap, and don’t squeeze the spots. Additionally, you may want to seek help from a skin specialist who can offer more guidance.

Infections like these can be the hard-headed ones. It's crucial to seek advice from a healthcare professional to find out the most effective treatment option. Anti-scars are supposed to vanish with time, but some treatments can help improve their appearance more quickly. Continue your treatment calmly and steadily, and do not be afraid to get advice from your dermatologist.

I am 29 years old female suffering from ringworm/ bacterial scalp infection. I have consulted family doctor. He suggested flucolab -150 and some other medicine too. I am worried about hair fall and bald patches on skin. Please recommend shampoo to reduce redness and infection
Female | 29
Bacterial infection and ringworm are two different things. Ringworm is fungal infection that presents rings generally over the areas where there is more sweating like thigh area, under the breast or armpit area and that is to be treated by anti-fungal medication for long time like 1-2 months. Bacterial infection is the one which is present with the puss and boils and has to be treated with antibiotics. Fungal infection on the scalp is very uncommon in adults and its only a problem of pre-school children. Proper diagnosis is required for the treatment to work. Consult a dermatologist for the same.

1 Big pimple in face please suggest thr tables
Male | 30
Usually, the reasons for these pimples are open pores, dirt, and bacteria. They can be manifested as red bumps that are filled with pus. Over-the-counter acne specialty products that contain ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to clear the acne should be tried, during this period, for the help of the pimple. Next, keep a clean face and do not touch or pick the pimple to prevent scars.

Your child may have a skin condition called eczema, which affects only a limited number of children. Eczema can sometimes be accompanied by irritation, redness, and itching of the skin. It's quite common in infants. Changing the soap that is used could be a solution, but that is not always the case. Use a mild moisturizer that is not perfumed and avoid harsh soaps from your baby's routine. However, the problem continues, it is wiser to see a dermatologist for guidance.

I am facing acne problem on my face as well as they are leaving marks on face.
Female | 28
Acne is a skin condition characterized by red pimples or “zits”. These occur when hair follicles are clogged with oil and dead skin cells. The swollen and tender pimples may or may not have pus. Mild washing of the face with a gentle cleanser is recommended. Over-the-counter acne treatment creams or gels can help address the issue, too. A dermatologist can offer more advice on dealing with such skin problems if they are a source of concern for you.

Skin problem redness or pimples
Female | 46
Your skin problem might mean redness or pimples. Clogged pores, germs, or irritants could cause it. Use a mild cleanser to help. Don't touch your face too much. Look for salicylic acid in products. Stress and diet also matter sometimes. Drink lots of water. Try relaxing. Every person's skin reacts differently. If it doesn't improve, see a dermatologist.

Hello I have been having a skin infection of something that looks like ringworm. It starts like a pimple and later widens into different sizes. It started appearing on my thighs and is now appearing on every other part of my body except my face and scalp. There are moments when my skin is void of any but on other periods it appears almost every where with a lot on my fingers and palms. It's been on and off for more than 10 years now. I've consulted several dematologist with each having a different diagnosis and prescribing different creams to be applied on the affected spots but those have not helped me in any way. I truly do not know what else to do. Please help.
Female | 27
Ringworms often spread and return if not treated well. Fungal infections love warm, damp body areas. Antifungal creams don't always work for severe and stubborn infections. I suggest seeing an experienced dermatologist. They can evaluate your unique condition much better and recommend medications or other treatments suitable for this.

i am 20 female and i am experiencing symptoms that can be caused by an allergic reaction
Female | 20
You might be having an allergic reaction. The immune system's hypersensitivity is one of the major causes of allergic reactions and it can go as far as responding to something harmless, e.g., some foods, dust, and pollen. The most common symptoms are sneezing, itching, hives, swelling, or trouble breathing. To help with this, look for the exact substance you were in contact with and try to refuse it. Visit a dermatologist if the condition does not improve.

Male | 14
There are a few reasons why you might have that strange dark line on your nail. If you hurt your nail at all, even just a little bit, it could cause this. On the other hand, not having enough vitamins might also be the cause. Don’t worry if you feel fine and have no other symptoms besides the line, it’s not worth it. In case you do start feeling sick or notice anything else strange happening with your body, visit a dermatologist.

I am 12 years old and i have oily skin full of pimples to how to rid from this and also blackends
Female | Mugdha Sarada Nanda
Pimples are caused when the pores get clogged due to the oil and dead skin, which then results in the formation of red bumps. Blackheads are meager pores that become covered with a dark spot. Use a mild face wash regularly (twice a day) to cleanse your facial skin. Employ oil-free skincare and keep your hands away from your face. If it continues, consult a dermatologist for more information.
