I've been noticing some black vertical lines on my thumbnails for quite some timemaybe about 7 or 8 years. At first, I thought it was just a nutrient thing, but now I've started seeing another thin line on my ring finger. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing it, and how can I get it treated?

I'm feeling pretty concerned about hair loss and the amount of eggs I'm eating since I joined the gym. I've been consuming around 6 to 8 eggs every day. Could this be causing my hair to fall out? Should I stop eating so many eggs, or is there something else I should consider? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

I'm noticing a lot of small moles popping up on my face, and I'm curious about why they're appearing. I've been using neem and aloe vera face washes, along with Himalaya's day and night creams, hoping they'd help clear these moles up. Should I be doing something different, or is there a deeper reason for these moles showing up?

Small moles on the face can be a cosmetic concern. Here's what you need to know: *Causes of Moles* 1. *Genetics*: Moles can run in families. 2. *Sun exposure*: UV radiation can stimulate the growth of moles. 3. *Hormonal changes*: Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, puberty, or menopause can lead to mole growth. 4. *Skin type*: People with fair skin are more prone to moles. *Your Current Skincare Routine* 1. *Neem face wash*: Neem has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help with acne and skin clarity. 2. *Aloe vera face wash*: Aloe vera can help soothe and calm the skin. 3. *Himalaya day and night creams*: These creams can help moisturize and nourish your skin. *Additional Tips to Reduce Moles* 1. *Sun protection*: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily. 2. *Exfoliate regularly*: Gently exfoliate your skin 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells. 3. *Avoid picking or scratching*: Refrain from picking or scratching moles, as this can lead to infection, scarring, or skin irritation.
