I'm dealing with this really annoying skin thing that seems like ring guard or something similar. It's causing a lot of itching and burning sensations. Do you have any ideas on what kind of medication might help with this?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've noticed the skin around my fingernails has turned black and there's also some darkness on my thumbnails. I'm really worried about it and I'm not sure how to make them lighter. What do you suggest I do?
The skin around your nails and the black discoloration on your thumb nails could be due to a fungal infection or trauma. I recommend using an antifungal cream for the skin around your nails and applying a topical antifungal solution on your thumb nails. Keep your hands clean and dry, and avoid any further trauma to the nails. If the condition persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with really rough and dry skin on one of my fingers for the past two years. It almost looks like cracked drought land when I look closely. Sometimes it gets itchy too. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?
You may be experiencing a condition called eczema. I recommend using a moisturizing cream containing 1% hydrocortisone to help with the dryness and itching. You can apply it to the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh soaps to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, it is best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
