Why could one have dry feet and toe nails stuck to the skin?
Hi doctor,
I am a 54 year old male. My height is 5"41" and weight is 136.68 Ibs. Currently, I take Stamlo 5 twice a day and Eltroxin 50 mcg once daily. I have dry feet. I keep using foot care cream to make my feet look normal. My toenails seem to stick with the skin as they grow. I have attached the pictures for your reference.

What could be done to cure eruptions on the forearms?
Hi doctor,
I have been having these eruptions on my forearms since past two months. They are not painful and cannot be popped. But they take a long time to disappear and look prominent. What are these and can they be stopped from re-occurring? I had them last year too during summers and they disappeared after 4 to 5 months. I have severe keratosis pilaris on my forearms and back, can they also be keratosis pilaris?

What are the black dots on the tongue of a six year old kid?
Hello doctor,
My daughter is six years old. About 10 to 11 months back we saw a very very small dark black colored dot on the side of the tongue. But now there are 4 to 5 similar-sized dots around her tongue on both sides. The size has not grown. But it is just that a new location has emerged. Lately, she is continuously touching her tongue and the tip of the tongue appears red. She says she feels like there is a hair on her tongue and there is some sensation on her tongue. I do not know if she is able to correctly describe her feeling. I am more worried about the black spots. Rest she is absolutely fine. Please advise.

I am a 29 year old male. From the past few days, after washing my face with a skin-clearing face wash, my skin got irritated but I thought it was natural.

Thank you.

How can brown patches on the skin be treated?
Hello doctor,
My aunt has had skin problems for the past six months. She gets brown patches. She locally met a doctor who gave her a cream called Subban after applying and the brown patches turned reddish. Someone told her to apply camphor and coconut oil, after which the situation deteriorated, and the patches became more prominent. Now she has stopped applying anything to her skin. Please help her to overcome this skin disorder. I have attached photos for your reference.
