I'm noticing these black lines on my nails and I'm really concerned. I attached some pictures and am worried because Google mentioned it could be cancer. Could there be other reasons for these lines appearing?

Is baking soda really a natural remedy for dandruff? I'm curious if it's safe to use for getting rid of dandruff, or if there might be any other effective home remedies out there. What would you recommend?

I'm really worried about something that seems to be going on down there. I got married recently and since then, Ive had unprotected sex multiple times. A few times, I used mustard oil for lubrication, and now Ive noticed these red pimple-like bumps on my penis shaft and under the skin. Theyre completely red and seem to be spreading. Could this be because of the mustard oil, or is it possible that Ive picked up an infection?
