I've got this black patch behind my ear that's kinda itchy, and I didnt even notice it until someone else pointed it out to me. Should I be worried about it? What could it be?

Persistent or worsening symptoms Changes in appearance of the patch (e.g., growing, bleeding, or becoming painful) Signs of infection (such as pus, swelling, or warmth) If in doubt, its always best to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I'm dealing with this constant pinching and sensation under my right armpit that even extends to my right chest area.

Any advice on what this might be and what steps I should take?
