I'm a bit concerned about using Tretiva 20. I've been taking it for the last 10 days, and instead of getting better, my acne has actually gotten worse. Is this normal? Why could this be happening?

I've had this brown vertical line on the nail of my middle finger for about a year now, and there's been no pain or growth. I stumbled upon something saying these lines could be linked to melanoma skin cancer, which freaked me out a bit. No one in my family has ever had cancer, but should I be worried about this line on my nail?
The brown vertical line in your nail plate may be due to a condition called longitudinal melanonychia. While it can sometimes be a sign of melanoma, it is important to consider other causes first. In your case, since there is no associated growth or pain, it may not be a cause for concern. However, it is still recommended to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions.
