I'm a bit worried because yesterday I noticed a bump or something like a pimple on my left nipple, and it was painful. Today, though, the pain's gone, but now there's some itching around it. Plus, I've noticed my left nipple is actually bigger than my right one. Should I be concerned about this?

View allI've got these old keloid and hypertrophic scars and I'm wondering if using Contractubex and a silicone gel sheet will help flatten them out now. Do you think these treatments could work at this stage?
Contractubex gel and silicon gel sheets can help improve the appearance of old keloid and hypertrophic scars. Apply Contractubex gel thinly on the affected area 2-3 times a day and gently massage it in. For silicon gel sheets, cut the sheet to fit the scar, apply it to clean dry skin for at least 12 hours a day. Consistent use over a period of several months may help flatten and soften the scars.

I'm really worried about these dark circles under my eyes. I've heard that laser treatment might help, but I'm not sure if that's the best option. Are there any other effective ways to reduce them? Would love some advice on this!
Dark circles can be treated with laser therapy, which helps to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. Another way to reduce dark circles is by using topical creams containing ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with adequate sleep, hydration, and a balanced diet can also help improve the appearance of dark circles.

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?
Nail pitting is associated with lot of conditions like u mentioned psoriasis etc also most common cause is alopecia.
