Question

I had a chemical peel on my face recently from a dermatologist, and now I've developed lichen planus. Could the peeling be the reason for it? I haven't taken any medications or done anything else that might have triggered this. I'm pretty concerned. What could be going on here?

Question

I'm really worried about my friend who keeps getting ringworm over and over. She gets better after treatment, but then a few months later, it pops up again. Is this something serious, or does it mean something else might be going on? The doctor mentioned coming back if it happens again, do you think she should make another appointment? What steps should she take to finally get rid of it for good?

Question

I've noticed some dents or shallow holes on my pinky finger of the left hand and the index finger of the right hand. I was trimming my nails when I first saw them, and after looking it up, I found a term called nail pitting, which is linked to psoriasis and other skin conditions. This has really worried me because I don't have any skin disease or joint pain. Could this be nail pitting or something else entirely? I also have tiny dots on two other nails, but there's only one per nail, and they're not as noticeable as on the pinky and index. The online pictures of nail pitting show nails with lots of deep holes and no shine, which looks scary. My nails still look pretty shiny and not as extreme. Can you help clarify what might be going on here?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because I recently swallowed my boyfriend's semen, and I've heard mixed things about it affecting the skin. Does swallowing semen really cause acne or breakouts, or could it possibly help with acne issues? I'm just curious and a little worried about how it might impact my skin.
