    Welcome to Dermatalk Starfire, your condition looks like Keratosis pilaris to me which is quite common on arms and thigh. Check if your parents have them?

    Although harmless condition it can sometime be annoying. Does it itch? applying moisturizers along with peeling agents like (retinoids, salicylic acid, 15-20% urea, lactic acid) and mild steroids might help resolve the lesions. But there is no any universally accepted effective treatment for KP. Please visit the dermatologist and confirm the case and he/she will help u with the best medications.

    First let me welcome you to DermaTalk. First thing to do is just prevention from further damage. You can use cuticle oil frequently or even daily if your nails are flaky and brittle. Don’t cut or tear the skin or cuticles by yourself as they help in protecting the growth center of your nail.

    Always remember to apply a hand cream after you wash your hand, as some soap makes nails very dry which results peeling and become brittle. Yea Nail polish does protect the natural nail but remember to remove it as soon as it starts to chip. don’t peel off nail polish, as this might also result in removal of the top layer of your nail leading to further damage. Have your nails manicured on a regular basis, usually every three to four weeks to make sure that your hands and nails remain healthy.

    Yes the pic u send is genital wart. Genital wart is quite common and most of the people might not have any sign of wart but still have infection.
    As they are harmless and non-cancerous , u need not worry much. It can sometime go on its own if not medical treatment can clear the wart. Just make sure not to have sexual contact or you might transmit to other.
    There are several treatment ranging from topical cream, cautery, niquid nitrogen, co2 laser.
    Over the counter treatment might not work well and removing warts from the skin does not necessarily reduce transmission risk. So its better to visit the dermatologist and get treated with oral immunity boosting meds along with topicals or laser.
