Giving up cycling for a long while :(

Uh oh. This is not a great thing. I am sorry to hear about this. However, I don't think that all is lost. Other than the crushed eustacian tube (how did that happen?), everything else is fixable. FWIW, I may need the long form.

Anyways, 50-75 miles a day is a lot but not that much. It is well within the normal range of recovery fore a gifted athlete. The question becomes whether or not you are allowing yourself sufficient recovery or whether it is more than your body can handle. SIDE NOTE: everyone has an idea that if they can train all the time, they could be World Champion, TdF Champion, etc. but that is pure myth. The amount that you can train is limited by what your body can absorb. If your body can't absorb all the training that you are doing, the excess training only tears your body down beyond what it can recover. So now you're tearing your body down cumulatively and that has long term effects if not done properly. I strongly suspect that you are suffering from insufficient recovery.

As to your specific problems:
3) wreck and diet: I am not sure I understand this so give me the full explanation.

5) viteligo: I am not sure what causes it (loss of pigmentation in skin) but it may have to do with chronic lack of recovery. USe lots of sunscreen. LOTS.

6) Tell your mum that you're taking care of yourself and you don't want to die before you at least get to shag Hilary Duff, and she's still several years from being legal.

7) Well, I'm not doc but this goes back to sufficient recovery and proper hydration. If she wants to do a little cutting, I guess that's up to you.

8) immune system: Recovery, recovery, recovery. This will help your immune system tremenedously.

9) Beans and Frank: Change your bike saddle and make sure that it is level as measured by a straight edge from end to end, not in the middle. I never had an issue with this during my whole cycling career. I would have days (after really hard track races on steep tracks) where my sit bones (pelvic bone) were really sore and I'd have a hard time sitting on a bike but I never had any penile issues. And judging by the fact that my wife got pregnant within 1 millesecond of trying, I think that my swimmers are probably in good shape, too. I really think that good bike position and posture, as well as good choices in saddles had a lot to do with this.

All in all, I think that you can still ride but you need to take the recovery portion seriously. That's where you get fit anyways. People think that training gets you strong but in fact the training makes you weak. The recovery from the training iswhat makes you strong. See if any of this helps.

And stop walking 3 miles every night. That's terrible.

 

Okay, that clears up my questions. Here's a possible solution: try going for 6 weeks with nothing longer than 1.5 hours and don't augment your riding with something stupid like 5 mile walks/trail runs/whatever. Let your body relax for a month and a half and see what happens. Take a multi vitamin every day and go to bed early, even if you can't sleep. Just read books until you doze off. Don't try and walk it off.

If you have specific questions about your vitiligo, your ear, etc.--post them. I am a Dermatologist and a Mohs surgeon (specialty skin cancer surgery). I would be happy to provide advice about sunscreens (it is more complicated than you think), natural/dietary interventions that may decrease your risk of skin cancer, etc. I am an avid cyclist (though my miles are not close to yours) and I have had a personal experience--I had an early melanoma removed from the inner corner of my eye (can you say unlimited sunglass budget). Make sure you PM me as well--I don't check every forum all that often.
