Doctor, I have had a bumpy structure on both palatopharyngeal arches for the past few years, which I have marked in the attached photos. I am 25 years old and a smoker.About 3 years ago, I consulted an ENT specialist regarding this. The doctor examined me and said that it was due to inflammation and prescribed Sporlac. After taking the medicine, the bumpy structure disappeared. However, about three months later, it appeared again, initially on the left side.I have also had a habit of eating spicy and oily foods, late-night meals such as biryani, and consuming alcohol for the past two years. I have recently stopped drinking alcohol and have also reduced/avoided spicy and oily foods and late-night meals.I am concerned about whether these persistent/recurrent bumps could be related to cancer because I am a smoker. I frequently examine my throat using a mirror and my mobile phone torch, and this has been causing health anxiety. Could you please recommend appropriate treatment.
I always feel a lightheadedness with pain at base of my skull which sometimes goes to back of the ears. My neck remains stiff too. I got rhinitis allergy once at 2019, my nose feels congested too. It's disturbing, i feel lack of focus in studies with this. Is this ear issue or neurological or bone? Whom should I meet ENT? or orthopaedic or neuro surgeon?

I consulted with a rheumatologist he advised to test ANCA , the test is normal , but steriod gives me relief it want to know it can be due to ANCA
I have noticed that whenever I am exposed to cold weather, I develop pain on the right side of my nose. At the same time, both of my ears start popping.
In addition, after waking up in the morning, I experience pain and stiffness in both shoulders, upper arms, and palms. The symptoms improve as I start moving during the day
My ANCA test is normal, but these symptoms continue to occur. I would like to know the possible cause and whether further evaluation is needed

Hello Doctor,
I have a torn earlobe and I'm considering earlobe repair surgery. I would like to know:
1. How long does the surgery usually take?
2. How long does it take for the earlobe to heal completely?
3. After how many weeks or months can I wear earrings again?
4. Will there be a visible scar after the surgery?
5. Are there any precautions I should follow during recovery?
Thank you.
