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'm struggling with acne scars and dark spots on my face and I'm really curious if taking Evion capsules orally would be safe for me. I'm also in the middle of a weight loss journey; I'm hitting the gym regularly and sticking to a diet plan. My big worry is whether Evion could lead to weight gain. Are there any side effects I should know about?

Evion capsules, which contain Vitamin E, can be beneficial for skin health. You can take Evion 400mg capsules orally once daily. Vitamin E can help improve skin texture and reduce scars and dark spots. Taking Evion capsules should not directly cause weight gain. However, as with any supplement, it is essential to maintain a balanced diet and exercise routine to support your weight loss goals.

I've been having these boils on my buttocks and they're incredibly painful. I've tried a few medicines but they arent really helping. Could you please guide me on what to do? I'm feeling really uncomfortable and worried about this.

I recommend trying an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. Apply it to the affected area three times a day after cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to promote healing. If the boils do not improve or if you develop a fever, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
