I'm noticing these black lines on my nails and I'm really concerned. I attached some pictures and am worried because Google mentioned it could be cancer. Could there be other reasons for these lines appearing?

So I've been using Betnovate N cream and it really helped lighten my face, but when I stopped using it, my face got darker again and I've also ended up with dark circles. Can you suggest a good cream for fairness, and maybe help with the back skin issue too?

To address the darkening and dark circles on your face, you can try using a cream containing Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Mometasone in the night for a limited period under the guidance of a dermatologist. For fairness, you can use a cream containing Kojic Acid, Arbutin, and Vitamin C in the morning. Remember to always use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.

I've been using garlic to try and get rid of a mole on my face, but now I'm really worried. After an hour, my skin got burnt and turned red. It dried up and I could peel it off, but now it looks black. I've been applying sebo de macho, but it doesn't seem to help. What should I do?

It seems like you may have experienced a skin reaction from using garlic to remove your mole. The black color could indicate a scab or potential skin damage. I recommend you stop using sebo de macho and instead apply an antibiotic cream like Neosporin to prevent infection. You can also use aloe vera gel to soothe the burned skin. Additionally, consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid picking at the scab to prevent scarring. If the symptoms worsen or do not improve, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
