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.

View allI'm having this weird needle-like sensation in the back of my head that started today. Everything else feels pretty normal though, and the pricking isn't happening all the time. Any idea what could be causing this?
It sounds like youre experiencing occasional nerve-related sensations, which can sometimes happen due to stress, posture, or minor nerve irritations. Since everything else is normal, its likely not serious, but if it persists or worsens, please consider seeing a doctor for evaluation.

I've been dealing with this persistent headache at the top of my head and forehead. When I watch TV, the pain just sticks around, right on the top of my head and in my eyes, which feel heavy. I've tried taking lots of painkillers, but nothing seems to help. I'm also feeling really tired. I'm worried and curious about what might be going on. Could it be something serious? What should I do to feel better?

I've been dealing with this weird tingling pain in my fingers and arms on both hands for the last 3.5 months now. It all started out of nowhere after I had some saline in my left arm. On top of that, my stomach constantly feels bloated, and I'm having these strange palpitations in my stomach and throat area. It's really starting to worry me. Any idea what might be going on or what I could try to feel better?
The symptoms you are experiencing, such as tingling pain in fingers and arms, bloating, palpitations, and sensations in the stomach and throat, could be related to nerve issues or underlying medical conditions. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis. However, to alleviate the symptoms, you can try taking Vitamin B complex supplements like Neurobion Forte once a day for nerve health. Additionally, you can take Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to help with bloating and stomach discomfort. Make sure to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
