Why do I have black lines on my fingernail?

I have very light black horizontal line on my fingernail

1 Answer

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.

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.

Psoriasis can be a bit challenging to treat but various treatments like medications, laser treatments, alternative treatments like homeopathy etc., avoiding triggers that worsen your psoriasis symptoms can prove useful. I suggest talking to your doctor for proper examination of your condition which will help in deciding which is the best treatment for your condition.

Vitiligo is a skin condition with no cure, but several treatments can improve the appearance and slow down progression. Options include topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, phototherapy, excimer laser, depigmentation, and surgical procedures like skin grafting.
