I've noticed that my skin has started to smell really strongly like something burning, and it's not just meother people can smell it too. It started off kind of mild, but now the smell is getting stronger. I'm really curious about what this could be. Do you have any ideas on what might be causing this?

View allI'm seeing these black lines on both sides of my index fingernail and I just noticed them two days ago. Its worrying me a bit. I've been taking Amlopres AT 25 mg for my blood pressure for the past 6 years. Could this medication be related to what's happening with my nail? Or is there something else I should be concerned about?
The black lines on your nails could be due to a condition called splinter hemorrhages, which are tiny areas of bleeding under the nails. In your case, it may be related to the long-term use of Amlopres At (Amlodipine) for your blood pressure. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options. In the meantime, you can continue taking your Amlopres At as prescribed.

I have a keloid on my chest but I've never had any injuries or surgery there. Is it normal to develop one without any trauma? It doesn't hurt but I'm not sure if it's fully cured or if it could get worse over time
Yes, it's possible to develop a keloid without a clear history of injury or surgery. Keloids are a type of scar tissue that can form spontaneously, especially on the chest, shoulders, and ears. While they often occur after skin trauma, they can sometimes develop without an apparent cause

I've been waxing my arms today and ended up with these bad bruises right in that bendy area where nurses usually take blood samples. It's not like it's my first time waxing, but this is definitely the first time I've gotten bruises like this. Is it normal for this to happen? What might be causing these bruises?
It is not normal to develop bruises after waxing, especially if this is the first time it has happened. The bruising may be due to excessive force during the waxing process or possibly using a wax that was too hot. To help with the bruising and promote healing, you can apply a topical arnica gel or cream to the affected areas. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the bruising does not improve or if you experience any signs of infection such as increased pain, redness, or swelling, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
