I've had these bald patches over my left and right ear for about four years now, and they're really bothering me. They're oval and completely bald, and nothing I've tried so far has made them go away. I haven't done anything about it for the past two years, but it seems like the bald patches are slowly getting bigger. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this or how I can treat it?

I'm having a really uncomfortable skin reaction after eating mangoes. My whole body is covered in red marks, and it gets worse if I miss a dose of the medications the doctors gave me: ommacortil, patadin, levosiz, and ranitidine. Is there anything specific I should avoid eating in this situation? And is it possible to find a permanent solution to stop this?

I got Rica waxing over the weekend, and now I'm noticing some patches on my arms and underarms. They're pretty visible and have me worried, especially since there are more under my arms. I've tried using ice and Aloe vera gel today. What can I do to get rid of these patches? I'm really concerned about it.
