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've been experiencing frequent headaches, especially after traveling to my university or another workplace. It's becoming a real concern for me. Could there be a specific reason for this recurring issue, and what can I do to manage or prevent these headaches?
Its likely that your headaches are triggered by factors related to stress, posture, environmental changes, or sleep deprivation associated with your travel and work schedule. Making some simple adjustments to your hydration, posture, stress management, and sleep can help alleviate these headaches. If they persist or worsen, its best to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions.
