Why are black lines on my nails spreading?

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

1 Answer

Answered on 30th Jan '25

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.

Female | 32

Depending on the type of blemishes you have, the treatment could range from over-the-counter topical medications, to prescription medications, to laser or light treatments, to chemical peels, to microdermabrasion. The cost of the treatment will depend on the type of treatment and the number of sessions recommended.

Male | 24

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..

I'm 22 years old male. I have some fungal infections in my hip and my leg in almost 18+ months. I have some skin care creams but not cure

Male | 22

A persistent fungal infection is quite often the cause of discomfort, it may be accompanied by itching, redness and flaking of the skin. Among the very common causes are exposure to moisture, hot conditions, and touching surfaces that are infected with fungus. Sometimes, it is not enough to merely find an over-the-counter cream that gives you temporary relief; it can well be improved, but sometimes a total solution is still impossible. My choice is the use of complex treatments that may be also over the counter, for example, antifungal drugs given on doctor’s recommendation along with making sure cleanliness and the affected areas are kept dry. A visit to the doctor often is the time for specific ways of dealing with the situation and also for quicker management of the condition. You are not alone in it. If you are still hesitating, remember that professional help can actually solve your problems very brilliantly.
