I've been worried ever since I used Betnovat for a month or two last year and then stopped when I found out it could be harmful. A couple of weeks after I quit, I noticed these bumps showing up and now my skin is really sensitive and dry. Do you think these are side effects from Betnovat, and if they are, will my skin eventually recover? How long might it take for everything to get back to normal? I've started using Cetaphil cleanser and Physiogel cream, but I'm not totally sure if any of this is related to Betnovat. Could you advise on this?

Question

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?
