I'm dealing with this issue where my palm is getting darker, and a dermatologist mentioned it's hyperpigmentation. I've already tried medications from two different specialists, but it hasnt helped at all. I used to stay up really late for about 6-7 years, around 12 years ago. Im also a vegan. Could any of these be related to whats going on with my skin? I'm really curious about what else I can do to sort this out.

Hyperpigmentation of palms occur because of various causes like deficiency of vitamin B12, Addison's disease , malabsorption syndrome etc. So you need some investigation to exclude these conditions. Meet a dermatologist. Start vitaminB12 supplements.

I've got these two cuts behind my right ear that just won't heal and they've been there for nearly a year now. They ooze, scab over, and get really crusty. There's no rash, and they don't look like any eczema pictures I've found. I've tried prescribed creams but nothing helps. What could this be, and what should I do next?
Could be indicative of a condition called chronic otitis externa. In this case, I would recommend using a combination of an antibiotic and steroid ear drops to help with the inflammation and infection. You can try using Neomycin-Polymyxin B-Hydrocortisone ear drops twice a day for 7-10 days. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching or picking at the scabs to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with vitiligo on my lips since 2007 and I've been using tacrolimus ointment 0.1 along with oral psoralen tablets, but I haven't seen any improvement. Is there anything else I should try or any advice you might have for my situation?
Vitiligo on lips since 2007, tacrolimus ointment 0.1% is being used at present along with oral psoralen tablet. But no any result. For vitiligo on the lips that has not responded to tacrolimus ointment and oral psoralen tablet, another treatment option to consider is topical corticosteroids. You can try using a potent topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol propionate ointment 0.05% twice daily on the affected areas of the lips. Additionally, phototherapy with narrowband UVB light can also be beneficial for treating vitiligo. It is important to continue treatment consistently and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
