I've been dealing with some itching and dry cuts behind my ears. It's really weird because they seem to appear and disappear after a few days, but when they're there, they're super painful. Any idea what could be causing this or how I can make it stop?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm really worried because I've developed mouth ulcers about 45 days after being exposed to the HIV virus. Could this be a symptom of HIV? I'm not sure which test I should take right now to check for HIV. Can you guide me on what's the best step to take?

Mouth ulcers can be a symptom of HIV, but they don't necessarily confirm the presence of the virus. To determine if you've contracted HIV, you can take an HIV test, specifically a 4th generation antibodyantigen (AbAg) test, which can detect HIV 45 days after exposure with 99% accuracy. Additionally, nucleic acid tests (NATs) can detect HIV 10 to 33 days after exposure, but these tests are typically used for high-risk exposures

I'm worried about my husband's skin rash that started after taking imol a few months back. Now hes been on injections and enzocart tablets because of it. He also keeps getting these headaches. I'm not sure what medicine is safe for him to take now, but I've heard about Dolo 650 already. Is something like dart okay for his headaches?

Dolo 650 contains paracetamol and so does dart. If he gets frequent headaches then instead of taking self medication and landing in trouble ask him to get it checked out by a neurophysician in person for further evaluation and management. .he will be able to help you further.
