I'm really concerned because my ears have been itching for the past week and they feel hot to the touch. The skin is getting rough on the outside, and I've noticed a bluish tint and constant swelling around them. What could be causing this and should I be worried?

View allI've noticed some dark patches in my groin area and on my lower back, and it's getting pretty itchy and dry. Also, the skin on my minora has turned hyperpigmented and has this papillary texture, which I've only been seeing for the last few days. It's kinda concerning. What do you think might be going on?
