I've been using Panderm cream on my face for like 34 years, and at first, I was really happy because it made my face lighter. But now I'm hearing it's got steroids in it. If I stop using it for even just a couple of days, my face gets dark, itchy, and rashy. Plus, I started noticing more hair on my face after using it. I really want to stop using the cream and get rid of these issues, but I've read that your face might look worse if you stop after using it long term. I'm honestly a bit scared. What should I do?

I'm worried because I've noticed these black lines under my nails that run from the tip to the end. I heard it could be a type of skin cancer. If I decide to get it removed, will that treat it? I'm also curious about my chances of recovery. The lines are not very dark, more like a light black. How much would a nail biopsy typically cost, and are there any foods I should steer clear of? What might be causing these lines, and what's the best way for me to go about getting treatment?
Don't worry, having black lines beneath your nails doesn't necessarily mean you have skin cancer. In Indians and people with darker skin tones, these lines are quite common and usually harmless . However, it's always best to get a professional opinion to rule out any underlying conditions.
