I'm a 45-year-old guy and I've been using hair dye for the past 15 years, but lately I've started having allergic reactions. There's itching on my scalp and face, and my face has turned kind of blackish. I've tried different brands and types, like liquids, powder, and shampoo dyes over the years. Could you suggest a hair dye or maybe tablets that might help with these allergies, and is there an ointment that could help reduce the dark color on my face?

There'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 Sebamed facewash and Nioret Nanogel for the past 8 months with amazing results. My skin was glowing, and I didn't have any pimples. But starting in February, I suddenly got rashes, redness, and some irritation on my face. There was one day when I used a CC cream, and after removing it, my face turned red and was burning. I tried calming it down with Lacto Calamine but nothing worked. Now, every time I apply the Sebamed facewash, it feels like I've put red chili powder on my face. I've even got a red patch under my eye that feels like burned skin when I touch it. Could you help me figure out what's happening with my skin?

I've got a healthy weight, but my cheeks are super thin, and it just doesn't look great. I'm sticking to a nutritious diet, doing pranayama, and keeping up with exercise, but my cheeks still look really thin. How can I get fuller cheeks and glowing skin? I'm not dealing with any diseases or anything. Any advice?
