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.
