I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with these small, white, hard bumps on my scalp for about a year and a half now. They're super itchy, and it's causing a lot of hair loss, which is really worrying me. At first, I thought it might be dandruff, but there's nothing flaky about it. I'm constantly scratching my scalp, and it's getting really frustrating. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

View allMy mom's been dealing with these mouth ulcers for about a year now, and we've tried a bunch of medicines and gels, but nothing seems to work. Those white patches just heal and then pop up somewhere else, and it really burns when she's eating. We've consulted several doctors, and they've said it might never cure. Is there any permanent solution for this? It's been really tough seeing her go through this.

I'm feeling this persistent heat on my face, and it's making my eyes feel really irritated and burning. I already saw a doctor, and he suggested I do some blood and urine tests. All my test results came back normal, so the doctor said there's nothing wrong and I shouldn't worry about it. But the thing is, I still feel this heat on my face. I'm not sure what's going on or what I should do next. Any advice?

There's been this black line on my left thumbnail for two years now, and I haven't hurt it or anything. I've been reading stuff online, mostly from Western sites, that talks about what it could mean, but I'm not sure if it applies to me. Is this melanonychia thing common for Indians, especially after they hit 25? And is it usually harmless? What should I be looking out for to know more about what's going on?
Melanonychia, which is the presence of a pigmented band on the nail, can have various causes and can be common in individuals of Indian descent beyond the age of 25 years. In most cases, melanonychia is benign, especially when it is stable over time and not associated with any other symptoms. However, it is important to monitor any changes in the size, shape, or color of the pigmented band. The diagnostic criteria for melanonychia include: 1. Duration of the pigmented band 2. Width and pigmentation intensity of the band 3. Presence of pigmentation in other nails 4. Changes in the nail or surrounding skin 5. Personal or family history of melanoma or other skin cancers It is advisable to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and to rule out any underlying conditions.
