I am a nail tech and when I was in school our teacher told us that those were a type of bruise on the nail bed.....perfectly normal and they don't cause any problem.....now if it is green, yellow, or black then that is a fungus, and you need to talk to your Dr. to get rid of it!!!

Many supplements cause that to occur, don't worry about it.   I think it's the food coloring in it.  I bet it has a strange smell to it also.

Acne is partly hormonal partly bacterial.  Blame McDonalds.  The current generation of teens and young adults were raised on that greasy crap and of course the amounts of sat fats and trans fats floating thru your system will eventually cause your normal body functions to change.  Your body cannot process all those greasy fats fast enough so they build up in your system which turns into a bacterial infection leading to acne.  Same reason so many young adults already have high cholesterol problems as well.  Many have cholesterol numbers of 40 and 50 year olds.

It might just be a skin condition.. or something to do with your genetics and all that... I have that same problem.. it doesn't bother me, so i don't think you should worry.. probobly just a minor non-harmful sideffect of something.. hasn't harmed me or you yet.. so it probobly wont.. don't worry that much about it.

I know the feeling, i get acne breakouts when i'm stressed or i get a major zit when i'm going out, it's really frustrating!\n the only thing that helps is when i'm on the pill.

Drinking more water and eating  a low  protein, low nitrogen, low sodium diet will prevent them from coming back. There is still some debate on what causes them exactly.

You may just have an irritation from a new shampoo or soap. If not you may just have an ingrown hair follicle, which could lead to a zit. I wouldn't worry too much, if it's not gone in about a week then I would go get it checked out, or if it keeps getting larger.

I get that sometimes too. I have hypoglycemia. I also take a medicine for depresseion called Welbutrin which I have taken for 4 years now. Also I have reached the ripe age of 41!  I think all these things combined is what causes my spots, blurryness and shadows. I was told by my eye doc that the floating spots that move are age spots that most people get with age (over 40). They are protien fillers that build up. The sugar imbalance cause the color spots. Eating more protien in my diet and less fats/carbs helps me.

They could be irritated ingrown hairs, depending on where they are at.  Also, if you don't wear underwear, and sweat a lot they could be pimples.  See a dermatologist.  May be embarrassing, but no more embarassing than having someone else see them.

I'm not sure if it applies in your case, but used to have a huge problem with acne. When I stopped eating sugar, it went away completely.

SIGNS OF ZINC DEFICIENCY: One easily recognized sign of zinc deficiency is white spots, bands, and lines on finger nails. An occasional white spot is usually evidence that the immune system overcame a bacterial or some other systemic infection, and is a positive, not negative sign. Some women will have multiple parallel white bands or lines on their fingernails marking menstrual cycles in marginal zinc deficiency. According to some biomedical researchers, human zinc deficiency may be correctable only by a therapeutic intake of 100 to 150 mg zinc per day taken orally for a few months. Significantly exceeding 150 mg per day to correct serum zinc deficiency is rarely warranted, and often causes nausea and vomiting, and may have other deleterious effects on health, primarily through depletion of serum copper. Some researchers suggest adding trace amounts of copper and vitamin B-6 with supplemental therapeutic doses of zinc to help reestablish proper zinc serum levels."...

Acne may be due to an improper mineral balance in your gut. If your gut is telling you to try Zinc, why not listen to it? Taking 50 mg's of Zinc each as a supplement could help with your acne. You might take a copper and calcium supplement as well. Avoid all dairy and wheat products. Avoid shampoo with SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE. Drink 6-8 glasses of distilled water. Change your table salt to sea salt. Stick with it and expect wonderful results.

It is not likely eczema since that would be itchy.  Can you describe these spots more?  How long have they been present?  What parts of your body are they on?  Have you been sick or ill since these spots occurred?  How big are they?

exfoliate your arms on a regular basis you might be getting ingrown hairs. It could also be a reaction to wheat products of milk. My daughter gets bumps on her arms when she drinks a lot of milk or has a lot of dairy products. you can put mederma (I think that is how you spell it) on the bumps after they are healed to reduce the scarring.

I take zinc supplements during cold season. Zinc is a mineral that greatly helps our immune system. And just so you know, "metals" are not always solid shiny silvery lumps. Zinc in the supplement pills is a powder. Iron is another nutrient your body needs, did you know that?
