I recently stopped taking my iron tablets and I've noticed that my skin is getting more pigmented. I'm really curious if this will go away now that I've quit the pills. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?

View allThere's been this black line on my left thumbnail for two years now, and I haven't hurt it or anything. I've been reading stuff online, mostly from Western sites, that talks about what it could mean, but I'm not sure if it applies to me. Is this melanonychia thing common for Indians, especially after they hit 25? And is it usually harmless? What should I be looking out for to know more about what's going on?
Melanonychia, which is the presence of a pigmented band on the nail, can have various causes and can be common in individuals of Indian descent beyond the age of 25 years. In most cases, melanonychia is benign, especially when it is stable over time and not associated with any other symptoms. However, it is important to monitor any changes in the size, shape, or color of the pigmented band. The diagnostic criteria for melanonychia include: 1. Duration of the pigmented band 2. Width and pigmentation intensity of the band 3. Presence of pigmentation in other nails 4. Changes in the nail or surrounding skin 5. Personal or family history of melanoma or other skin cancers It is advisable to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and to rule out any underlying conditions.

I've been using Panderm cream for a while, but after learning about its side effects, I stopped. My doctor then prescribed Deriva CMS gel and another cream to treat the rashes and small pimples I got from Panderm. The rashes have improved, but I'm worried about what's next because I can't stop using the gel without risking the rashes coming back. Plus, my skin has become really dry. Can you recommend what kind of cream I should use now?
use doctor prescribed cream only
