I've noticed the skin around my fingernails has turned black and there's also some darkness on my thumbnails. I'm really worried about it and I'm not sure how to make them lighter. What do you suggest I do?

The skin around your nails and the black discoloration on your thumb nails could be due to a fungal infection or trauma. I recommend using an antifungal cream for the skin around your nails and applying a topical antifungal solution on your thumb nails. Keep your hands clean and dry, and avoid any further trauma to the nails. If the condition persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really confused and a bit concerned about something that's been happening lately. Almost every night, I wake up with this persistent itching in my feet and the palms of my hands. It's been happening after I take a shower and moisturize. What could be causing this? Could my shower habits or the moisturizer be triggering it somehow? I'm just not sure what's going on. Any ideas?
Itching in the feet and palms of the hands, especially at night, can be due to a condition called eczema. I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas before bedtime. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg at night can help alleviate the itching. Make sure to continue moisturizing regularly and avoid any potential triggers that may worsen the itching.

Does masturbation lead to getting HIV or AIDS? Also, I've had pimples on my face, should I be worried about having AIDS because of that? And there was this one time when I felt some pain in my pelvic area, is that something related to AIDS too?
No that's impossible to get such disease.

I'm really worried about the dark spots at the corners of my lips, and I was wondering if there's any cream that might help. One doctor suggested I try using Lip Bless, but I'm still unsure if that'll do the trick. I'm getting married soon, so I'm quite stressed about it. I don't smoke or drink, and I make sure to drink plenty of water, eat fruits rich in vitamin C, and scrub regularly. Plus, I rarely spend time in the sun. Do you have any advice on what might help brighten up the corners of my lips?
You can use butter based lipbalms,this needs evaluation as it could be fungal infection or vitamin deficiency too,visit Dermatologist for appropriate managemnet
