Why is my thumb nail not growing properly?

About my thumb in my thumb nail is not growing and 2 lines are there

1 Answer

Answered on 28th Jan '25

The lack of growth and the presence of lines can occur due to several factors, such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or trauma to the area. Often, these issues are temporary and resolve on their own. However, it’s essential to ensure you’re getting proper nutrients and managing stress effectively. If the condition persists or worsens, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice. They can provide insights and solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Face pimple itching and redness and spots what can use medicine to relif pimple 2 month ago I am very tens

Female | Zeenat

The skin’s pores can often get clogged by bacteria or hormonal changes. If a pimple is bothering you, try an acne spot treatment with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to reduce inflammation and clear the pores. Remember to cleanse your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, and avoid picking at the pimple to prevent scarring.

Male | 13

Without a physical examination, it is difficult to understand your problem and the cause of it. I advise you to visit a dermatologist for proper diagnosis of your condition. Based on that, he may recommend the right treatment for your problem which can include antibiotic or anti-inflammatory creams.

Male | 24

It seems that dandruff might be one of the conditions. The main symptom of dandruff is itching, and white particles of skin can be seen on hair. Sometimes, this condition might also produce red patches on the face, especially around the hairline area. The pathogen fungi on your scalp cause dandruff. For example, choose a shampoo that is specifically designed for dandruff. In particular, washing hair regularly along with the stress management procedure may also be beneficial for you.

Does wound sting if you put a NaCL?

Female | 18

If you put salt (NaCl) on a cut it may hurt a bit. The reason for this is that salt is able to kill germs. Therefore if you rub salt in a wound it will only be painful temporarily. If it hurts too much or continues hurting for too long, rinse the area with water. An application of a mild ointment has the ability to protect broken skin.

Female | 28

You are likely suffering from cellulitis, which is an infection. This can happen when bacteria enter the body through an injury or insect bite. The infection usually causes redness, swelling, and pain in the affected area. Besides these symptoms, you may also feel severe pain. If the infection spreads, it can lead to serious issues like shortness of breath and joint pain. It is crucial to get antibiotic treatment immediately to stop the infection.

I am 27 years. I have a problem with my mouth and tongue. Sometimes. When im stress my tongue will retract. And now, i have lot of canker sore in my mouth and tongue. What should i do to make it heal faster. Thanks

Female | 27

Canker sores are small, painful ulcers that are so troublesome that one can find it hard to speak or eat. Stress can be a possible reason for them as well. To promote healing, try rinsing your mouth with salt water about three times a day. Try to avoid spicy and acidic foods that can aggravate the sores. Regularly brushing your teeth and mouth can also speed up the healing process.

Female | 33

It sounds like you may have eczema, a common skin condition that can cause itching, redness, and irritation. To determine if this is the case, you should see a dermatologist. The dermatologist can recommend an appropriate treatment plan that may include topical medications, light therapy, or oral medications. Additionally, lifestyle changes can help to manage symptoms including avoiding potential triggers, wearing loose fitting clothing, and using a humidifier in your home.

I am using minoxidil since 2 month. After using this my hair line is more visible what can I do ?

Male | 25

This might happen sometimes as a side effect. Minoxidil could cause increased hair fall before new hair starts to grow. The most important thing is to wait because this shedding usually is temporary. If you are worried, it’s better to continue using the medicine as directed and consult your doctor for more advice.
