I've noticed the skin around my waist has started turning black over the last couple of months, and I'm really concerned about it. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do?

View allI've been noticing this white powder under my nails whenever I scrape my scalp. It's not itchy, and I don't see flakes or dandruff. I shower daily, so I'm quite clean. The powder is a bit waxy. Is this just sebum, or could it be something unusual? Is this normal for scalp skin and only becomes visible after scraping?
The white powder you are noticing when you scrape your scalp is likely sebum mixed with dead skin cells. Sebum is an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin, including the scalp. It is normal for sebum to be present on the scalp to help keep the skin and hair moisturized. When sebum mixes with dead skin cells and other debris, it can form a slightly waxy substance that becomes visible when you scrape your scalp. This is a normal occurrence and is not necessarily abnormal. However, if you notice any changes in the color, texture, or odor of the white powder, or if you experience any other symptoms such as itching, redness, or inflammation, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and advice."

I've been struggling with hair fall for about 8 years now, and I've lost most of the hair on the top of my headit's mostly just the sides left. I've just started taking keraglo men tablets and evion capsules, and I'm using Dabur Amla oil for scalp massages. Do you think this will actually help my hair grow back? I'm really worried and just want to know if I'm on the right track or if there's something else I should be doing.
yes continue all the medications..

I've been struggling with Hives for about two years now, and the itching and skin inflammation are just unbearable sometimes. My doctor suggested I take Montek LC, and I usually take a tablet every couple of days when things get really bad. Is there any way to completely get rid of this condition? I'm hoping for a more permanent solution. Can you share any advice or treatments that might help?
Yes you can have it no problem
