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:

Trauma or injury

Mucocele (mucous cyst)

Fibroma (benign tumor)

Papilloma (benign growth)

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 dealing with a burn I got about four months ago, and the doctors mentioned it was a first-degree burn. The healing process went alright, but now Im stuck with this nasty scar on my arm that's really bothering me. The skin in that area doesnt seem to have an even tone, and the outer layer is darker. Could you suggest any products to help even out the skin tone and possibly recommend a good scar cream? I'm just looking for some guidance here.

I've got some really bad boils and I'm not sure what to do. Should I see a surgeon or maybe a dermatologist? I'm kind of worried and just want to make sure I go to the right specialist. Any advice?

You should consult with a dermatologist for the treatment of severe boils. They specialize in skin conditions and can provide you with the appropriate care. In the meantime, you can use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and apply it to the affected area twice a day to help with healing.

I've noticed this red pore on my nose that's been around for almost a year now. I'm kind of worried about what it could be and how to get rid of it. I regularly squeeze blackheads on my nose, so I wonder if maybe it's an infected pore? What do you think?
