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've noticed that I've got these small white spots on my hand, right where the upper and lower skin meet. They've been around for quite some time, and at first, there were only a few, but now I've got a lot more. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing them and if it's something I should be concerned about. Could you shed some light on what's going on?

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'm a bit confused about how to use the propysalic nf lotion that was prescribed for my scalp condition. Should I be applying it just to my scalp, or is it okay to get some on my hair too? I'm not sure since I have medium length hair and don't want to do it wrong. Could you clarify how I should be applying it?

Propysalic NF lotion is a topical treatment for scalp conditions like psoriasis, dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis. *Application Instructions* 1. *Wash your hair*: Before applying the lotion, wash your hair with a mild shampoo. 2. *Towel-dry*: Gently towel-dry your hair, making sure it's not soaking wet. 3. *Apply to scalp*: Use the lotion only on your scalp, avoiding the hair shafts as much as possible. 4. *Massage gently*: Massage the lotion into your scalp using your fingertips. 5. *Leave it on*: Leave the lotion on for the recommended time, usually 30 minutes to an hour, before rinsing. *Tips for Medium-Length Hair* 1. *Section your hair*: Divide your hair into sections to make it easier to apply the lotion to your scalp. 2. *Use a scalp massager*: A scalp massager can help you apply the lotion more evenly and massage it into your scalp. 3. *Avoid over-applying*: Be careful not to apply too much lotion, as this can weigh your hair down and make it greasy.

I've been dealing with this urticaria since last October, and I've been taking citrazin every day, but it hasn't helped at all. I'm thinking of trying livcon capsules and assicon syrup now. Do you think these might work for my urticaria?

For urticaria, it is important to identify the underlying cause and treat it accordingly. Instead of Livcon capsule and Assicon syrup, I would recommend you to try Allegra (Fexofenadine) 180mg once daily in the morning along with Ranitidine 150mg twice daily. These medications are more effective in controlling urticaria symptoms compared to Livcon and Assicon. Make sure to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.
