I've got this flaky skin inside my ear, and after I peeled it off, a clear liquid started coming out. It's a bit painful too. What could be causing this? Should I be worried, and how can I treat it?

A lump on the back of your tongue can be concerning.

Possible causes:

  1. Trauma or injury
  2. Mucocele (mucous cyst)
  3. Fibroma (benign tumor)
  4. Papilloma (benign growth)
  5. Leukoplakia (pre-cancerous lesion)

Consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist or an oral surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm an 18-year-old guy dealing with some serious male pattern baldness. It's getting worse, and now there's this awkward bald patch on my forehead that's really noticeable in daylight. My doctor mentioned trying PRP and stem cell therapy, which sounds promising, but it's an 8-week thing and honestly, I'm thinking of just shaving my head in the meantime because the bald spot is pretty embarrassing. Do you think it's okay to shave my head before starting the PRP and stem cell treatments? Also, is it safe or effective to switch between PRP and stem cell therapies during this period?

Shaving your head before starting PRP and Stem-cell therapy is perfectly fine and will not interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment. In fact, shaving your head may even help improve the absorption of the treatment into your scalp. As for taking PRP and Stem-cell therapy alternatively, it is safe and can be effective in promoting hair growth. Just make sure to follow your doctor's recommended dosage and treatment plan for optimal results.
