I've noticed my nails have started curving inward like pincer nails over the last month and I'm really worried about what's causing this. Could this be from something I'm doing or is it a medical issue? Will it go away on its own or would I need some kind of procedure to fix it?

I've had these black spots near my private area for about a month now, and they itch quite a bit. What could be causing this, and how can I get rid of them?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing to help with the healing process.
