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've been hitting the gym regularly and for the past five months, I've added whey protein supplements to my routine. I'm averaging about 50-70 grams of protein a day. Ever since I started, I've noticed a major hair fall situation. Could this be because of the protein I'm taking, or is there something else going on here? Also, what can I do to get my hair back to its normal state or encourage regrowth?

consulting a dermatologist to rule out hormonal imbalances, continue taking biotin supplements, and focus on a balanced diet, stress reduction, and proper sleep to promote beard growth, while also exploring additional supplements like vitamin D and fish oil.

I've noticed that some parts of my head grow hair really slowly while other areas seem fine. It's a bit strange because the hair seems to be growing at different rates, and Ive experienced a lot of hair fall over the past year. I'm also seeing less hair at the front. Could you tell me what might be causing this and what I could do about it?
