I've noticed some dents or shallow holes on my pinky finger of the left hand and the index finger of the right hand. I was trimming my nails when I first saw them, and after looking it up, I found a term called nail pitting, which is linked to psoriasis and other skin conditions. This has really worried me because I don't have any skin disease or joint pain. Could this be nail pitting or something else entirely? I also have tiny dots on two other nails, but there's only one per nail, and they're not as noticeable as on the pinky and index. The online pictures of nail pitting show nails with lots of deep holes and no shine, which looks scary. My nails still look pretty shiny and not as extreme. Can you help clarify what might be going on here?

View allI have a wart near my left eye and my doctor recommended removing it with surgery under local anesthesia as a precaution, even though it's not causing problems now. Since it's so close to my eye, is the procedure safe? Could there be any risk of nerve damage or other complications? Also, what are the chances of it coming back after removal?
Wart removal near the eye is usually safe with local anesthesia; consult an experienced surgeon to avoid nerve damage and minimize recurrence.

I'm a Civil Engineer and I'm outside at worksites a lot, which means I'm always in the sun. I try to use umbrellas and scarves, but they don't seem to help much. The sun leaves me with a tan that's really bugging me, and I'm starting to see some wrinkles forming too. I usually don't have a lot of time for salon treatments, but I make sure to go for a cleanup once a month and apply a turmeric milk face pack on alternate days. My skin's a bit oily, but I don't get many pimplesmaybe because of the face pack. I'm really hoping for some advice on how to get back to a fairer complexion. Any suggestions?
