Why is the skin on the upper part of my ear turning black with discoloration? I'm not sure if I should see a dermatologist or an ear specialist about this. How can I make that area match my natural skin color?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can occur after inflammation or injury to the skin. To help clear the discoloration and match it with your actual skin color, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF on the affected area can help prevent further darkening of the skin. You can try using a sunscreen like Sunstop 30 lotion and reapply it every few hours when exposed to sunlight.

View allI have a hereditary hair thinning problem where the spacing between my hair has increased and I've lost hair from my forehead. Can this be fixed with medicine or will I need surgery?
Hereditary hair thinning, including a receding hairline and increased spacing between hairs, can be addressed with both medications and, in some cases, surgery. Medications like minoxidil and finasteride can help slow down hair loss and may stimulate regrowth, while hair transplantation offers a more permanent solution by moving hair follicles from resistant areas to the thinning scalp.
