I've noticed some black pigmented spots on my breast and between them, and they seem to be slowly getting bigger. Initially, it was just a small black spot, but now it's growing into these branch-like patterns. What might be causing this, and how should I approach getting it checked out?

Question

I've accidentally torn off a piece of my nail at the base of my thumb, and now half of my lunula is still there, but the other half is missing along with the nail. The exposed nail bed is kind of raised and red. I'm really worried about how long it's going to take to heal and whether my lunula is going to grow back to look like it did before or if it's just going to grow over with clear nail. Any insights on what I can expect?
