I'm seeing these black lines on both sides of my index fingernail and I just noticed them two days ago. Its worrying me a bit. I've been taking Amlopres AT 25 mg for my blood pressure for the past 6 years. Could this medication be related to what's happening with my nail? Or is there something else I should be concerned about?

The black lines on your nails could be due to a condition called splinter hemorrhages, which are tiny areas of bleeding under the nails. In your case, it may be related to the long-term use of Amlopres At (Amlodipine) for your blood pressure. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options. In the meantime, you can continue taking your Amlopres At as prescribed.

View allI went to see a doctor about getting my skin to glow, and they recommended I take kromaglo tablets for a month. I'm wondering if these tablets are actually beneficial and if there are any potential side effects I should be aware of. Can you help me out with this?
The tablet "Kromaglo" contains a combination of L-Glutathione, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E, which are known for their skin brightening and antioxidant properties. It is commonly used for improving skin glow and reducing hyperpigmentation. The usual dosage is 1 tablet daily for 1 month. Common side effects of Kromaglo may include gastrointestinal upset, allergic reactions, and rare cases of skin rashes. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration as advised by your doctor to minimize the risk of side effects.

I've been dealing with some pretty bad acne and breakouts on my face, shoulders, and back since I had chickenpox about three years ago. Before that, I never really had any issues with acne, so I'm super frustrated. I went to a bunch of doctors and tried different creams and tablets, but nothing seems to work. It's been a few years now, and every time one breakout heals, another one pops up. Could this be connected to the way the chickenpox was treated back then, or is there something else going on? I'm really worried because my face is a mess right now and I'm not sure what else to do. Any advice or solutions for dealing with acne after chickenpox?

I've been noticing that my skin is super dry, and I've been using a lot of moisturizer, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. The dryness is causing wrinkles to form, and it's really worrying me. I wash my hands regularly with soap and keep applying moisturizer, but both my hands and legs are still wrinkled. Do you have any advice on what I can do to improve my skin's condition?
Dry skin can lead to wrinkles, especially if it's not properly moisturized. Here are some suggestions to help you combat dry skin and reduce wrinkles: Moisturizing Routine 1. Use a gentle soap: Switch to a mild, fragrance-free soap that's formulated for dry skin. 2. Exfoliate wisely: Exfoliate your skin 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). 3. Apply moisturizer immediately: After washing your hands and legs, apply moisturizer within 3 minutes to lock in moisture. 4. Use a rich moisturizer: Switch to a rich, non-greasy moisturizer that's formulated for dry skin. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide, and glycerin. Additional Tips 1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. 2. Avoid hot water: Use warm water instead of hot water, which can strip your skin of its natural oils. 3. Wear gloves: Wear gloves when washing dishes, gardening, or engaging in other activities that can dry out your hands. 4. Use a humidifier: Dry air can dry out your skin, so using a humidifier can help maintain a healthy moisture level.
