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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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 concerned about my skin tone, which is wheatish. I've tried so many creams to lighten it, but nothing seems to be working. Can you suggest any really effective creams for my face?
For improving skin complexion, you can try using a cream containing hydroquinone, which is a skin-lightening agent. One option is "Melalite Forte Cream", which contains 4% hydroquinone. You can apply a thin layer of this cream on the affected areas of your face once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day is important to protect your skin from further darkening.

I'm experiencing some really annoying itching in my scrotum, especially at night. And when I'm walking or moving around, it really bothers me in the groin area. It's just starting, so I can usually control the urge to scratch, but it gets tough sometimes. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what I can do about it?
Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've been using HH Zole cream on my face for a couple of years now, like every week on the 7th day, just as a regular face cream. Initially, I got it to treat an itching problem, which cleared up, but I kept using it. Could this be harmful if I continue this way? Is there something I should be worried about?
