I've noticed that my fingernails used to have lunula, but now it seems like only my thumbs still have them, and even those are shrinking. I've heard that lunula is a sign of good health. What can I do to get them back? I'm a bit worried about what this means for my health.

I've been dealing with a pimple on my face for about 3 to 4 months, and I used Dettol on it. My skin burned in that spot, and now the burned skin is gone, but a black mark is left behind. It's getting darker as days go by. What can I do about it?

The dark mark, likely a post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) scar, can be treated with topical creams or serums containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or niacinamide; consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice, and in the meantime, use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily and avoid picking or scratching the area to prevent further darkening.
