I'm a bit worried about plucking my eyebrows with tweezers. Is there any chance that it could cause blindness or other issues over time? I've been doing it for years and just started wondering if there are any long-term effects I should be concerned about. Could you shed some light on this?

View allI've been really stressed this year and taking a lot of pain meds, like ibuprofen and naproxen. I stopped the naproxen because I thought it might be the problem. About a month and a half ago, I noticed a few tiny red spots on my upper arms. Even after stopping the naproxen, the spots are still there, and I think there are more now. I had a CBC done when I first noticed them and the platelets were normal, but all the stuff I read online is just really scary. I'm freaking out a bit. What could be causing these spots?

I recently noticed a new mole on the inside of my thigh and I'm kind of worried. It's not flat and has an irregular shape, plus one side is darker than the other. Should I be concerned even though it doesn't seem to be getting any bigger?

I've noticed some black spots appearing on a few of my fingers. I think it might be some kind of allergy, but there's no itching involved. Could this still be an allergic reaction, or is there something else I should be concerned about?
