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:
- Vitiligo: An autoimmune condition causing skin depigmentation.
- Pityriasis Alba: A harmless skin condition causing white patches, often on elbows and knees.
- Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): A skin condition causing white patches, redness, and itching.
- Psoriasis: An autoimmune condition causing white, scaly patches.
Consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. They may recommend:
- Topical creams or ointments
- Light therapy
- Oral medications
Share your medical history, including the treatment you received at 17, to help the dermatologist make an accurate diagnosis.

I'm experiencing this odd sensation, like an earthquake, where it feels like my bed or something at the back of my head is moving back and forth when I'm trying to fall asleep. There's no nausea or headache, but I've been noticing this faint beep in my left ear for a while now. The sensation seems to worsen when I sleep for a longer time. I've been taking Vertin for 23 days, but it doesnt seem to be helping. Is this something I should be worried about? What steps should I take next?
it can be BPPV you can take ENT consultation for better understanding and treatment
