View allI've noticed my hairline is receding, especially around the temple and frontal areas, and I tried using Minokem like my dermatologist recommended, but it doesn't seem to be working. I still have these baby hairs on my scalp. What's worrying me is that while there's no baldness on my dad's side, there is on my mom's - my uncle and grandfather are both bald. Could this be something genetic from my mom's side? Is there anything else I should try or consider?
This could be genetic caus of hair fall,visit Dermtologist for more advanced treatment

I'm noticing a thin black line on the nail of my right thumb, and it seems to be permanent. It's been there for a while, grows with the nail, and isn't just a stain or mark that can be washed off. I recently came across some information online suggesting it might be a sign of melanoma, which is a bit worrying. I'm aware that online info can sometimes be exaggerated, but I want to be sure there's nothing serious going on. Could this be a cause for concern?
Probable diagnosis is psoriasis,eczema,hypothyroidism,injury,rheumatoid arhritis, melanonychia,Hiv,cancer and anemia etc. vit b12 deficiency .Most causes of black lines do not require treatment..Melanoma is a exception.Treatment of the underlying cause .
