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.

The sudden, intermittent vibrations in the left side back of your head, lasting 5-10 seconds, could be related to various factors, including muscle spasms, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues, ear problems, or even anxiety; however, to rule out any underlying conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, vestibular disorders, or neurological issues, consult a healthcare professional, preferably a neurologist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist, for a thorough evaluation and proper diagnosi

I've been feeling this warm sensation in my right foot's toes. Its not there all the time, just comes and goes. Theres no pain, but it feels like warm air is blowing over them. What could this be?
Your symptoms could be suggestive of diabetic neuropathy. You should undergo a panel of investigations for diabetes and begin treatment as soon as possible. If you are a known patient of diabetes mellitus who is already on treatment, you may have to visit your regular physician to recalibrate your ongoing medication and possibly include neuropathy medication.
