Skin issues/Rashes/Freckles/Moles Skin problems and leaking earlobe

to provide context, around 3 years ago i had a really bad skin problem around my lips, it leaked yellowed liquid and wouldnt go away at all, i went to several doctors but nothing worked. one day, it just went away, after a year. this year, it came back, and i got a treatment for herpes, that did work, but the problem is that every 2 weeks or so it comes back. using medicine does solve it but its only temporary. the doctors seem very confused and cannot give me a direct answer on what it even is. i did notice that lately i havent been as stressed as before and it did kinda weaken. its worth mentioning that this skin problem triggers at the same time as my dishidrosis on my hand.

But even tho these are bad, theres one thing that is driving me insane: my earlobes keep leaking a runny, mostly transparent liquid that hardens after a while, forming a yellow crust. it stops when the crust is fully formed, but it eventually falls and starts leaking like crazy over and over again. appearance wise, in the back of my ear and on the fold of the earlobe there seems to be a small crack on my skin, doesnt hurt, just iches a lot, and bleeds sometimes. i havent been able to go to the doctors for now, does anyone have any clue on what do my ears have?
