I'm really concerned about my mom. She's been diabetic for a while, and lately, she's been saying that her whole body goes numb when she's sleeping. It's been happening for about a month, and I'm not sure what type of doctor we should see about this. Could you guide me on who to consult?

Based on your symptoms, the white patches could be:

  1. Vitiligo: An autoimmune condition causing skin depigmentation.
  2. Pityriasis Alba: A harmless skin condition causing white patches, often on elbows and knees.
  3. Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): A skin condition causing white patches, redness, and itching.
  4. Psoriasis: An autoimmune condition causing white, scaly patches.

Consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. They may recommend:

  1. Topical creams or ointments
  2. Light therapy
  3. Oral medications

Share your medical history, including the treatment you received at 17, to help the dermatologist make an accurate diagnosis.

Can you tell me if a cervical disc bulge can be treated without surgery based on my MRI report I'm really worried about going under the knife and want to explore other options first

Cervical epidural injections are a well-established non-surgical treatment for C5-C6 disc bulge. They involve the injection of corticosteroids directly into the epidural space near the affected nerve roots. These injections provide both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits.

I'm experiencing this intense headache that seems to start from the back on the left side of my head, but it only happens during orgasm. There's no lingering effect afterward, and everything else like my diet and sleep is normal. It's kind of worrying me, and I'm curious about what might be causing this. Any idea what could be going on?

It sounds like the headache could be related to a tension or vascular response triggered during orgasm. While it's not uncommon for certain activities to cause temporary discomfort, if this continues, I recommend consulting with a doctor to rule out any underlying neurological issues. In the meantime, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper sleep, hydration, and stress management is important.
