I'm really concerned because every time I drink alcohol, I start itching all over my body afterwards. Like, last week, I had some beer, and two days later, the itching began. Is this normal, or should I be worried about an allergic reaction or something? I'd really appreciate your advice on what might be causing this.

This itching may be due to alcohol-induced urticaria, which is a type of skin reaction that can occur after consuming alcohol. I recommend taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help relieve the itching. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas. If the itching persists or worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Why is the skin on the upper part of my ear turning black with discoloration? I'm not sure if I should see a dermatologist or an ear specialist about this. How can I make that area match my natural skin color?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can occur after inflammation or injury to the skin. To help clear the discoloration and match it with your actual skin color, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF on the affected area can help prevent further darkening of the skin. You can try using a sunscreen like Sunstop 30 lotion and reapply it every few hours when exposed to sunlight.
