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 some itchy and flaky skin, and I'm really worried it might spread further. Could it be something serious? Also, I'm not diabetic, and though I have high blood pressure, it's well-managed. Any advice on what this might be or how to treat it?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a skin condition like eczema or seborrheic dermatitis, which can cause itching and flakiness. Since you have high blood pressure, it's important to use gentle, non-irritating treatments. If it worsens or spreads, I'd recommend seeing a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been eating a lot of Chinese food lately, and it's pretty much become my go-to meal almost every day. But recently, I've started noticing this weird burning sensation on my skin in different parts of my body. There's no redness or itching, though. I'm a 25-year-old woman and I'm a bit worried. What could be causing this burning feeling?

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I've been noticing that the skin on my inner thighs and especially my penis is way darker than the rest of my body, which I'm really not happy about. Plus, I've got some white spots on the back of my penisnone on the frontand I wonder if it's from masturbation. It seems like the back is more sensitive too. I've got some pictures that clearly show the difference in color and the spots. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how I can even out my skin tone?

please physically see a qualified dermatologist and discuss this with him
