I've noticed that my lunula is missing on all my fingernails except for my thumbs. I'm kind of worried if this could be a sign of some underlying health issues or if it's nothing to stress about. Any insights on what could be going on?

The absence of lunula on most of your fingernails could be due to various reasons, including genetics, trauma, or certain underlying health conditions. It is important to consult with a dermatologist for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking biotin supplements to support nail health

I've been dealing with a tinea infection recently and after consulting with my doctor, I took fluconazole tablets. While the infection is gone now, it's left me with these large black patches on my skin. Could you recommend a cream or treatment to help get my skin back to its original color?

Usually it takes time to heal and no need to worry or rush to change the treatment,have patience and give some times to heal, consume balanced diet and take adequate rest for better results.

I'm genuinely concerned about the heat in my body and how it's affecting my health. I've been getting ulcers in my mouth or on my tongue almost every month. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm starting to wonder what's causing them. Is the heat in my body connected to these frequent ulcers? How can I reduce this heat or prevent them from happening so often? Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

To decrease body heat, try: staying hydrated, wearing light clothing, taking cool showers or baths, practicing relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing, and avoiding spicy or heavy foods; regarding ulcers, the main reasons include: stress, hormonal changes, vitamin deficiencies (B12, iron), acidic or spicy foods, and underlying conditions like gastrointestinal issues or autoimmune disorders; to prevent monthly ulcers, consider keeping a food diary to track triggers, practicing good oral hygiene, and consulting your doctor or dentist for personalized advice.
