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 30 and my leg has been pulsing since last night. I've also been dealing with neck pain. It's really starting to worry me. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you're experiencing some discomfort, but a pulsing sensation in the leg combined with neck pain could be due to muscle tension or nerve irritation. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, its important to consult a doctor to rule out any serious issues like blood flow problems or nerve compression.
