I've been experiencing a really sharp pain on the left side of my neck that feels like being poked with a big needle. It's been going on for a few days now. Should I be worried? What could be causing this?

I'm experiencing numbness during the night in my pinky and ring finger on my left hand. It's been happening for the last couple of months, almost 5 to 6 times a week, and I'm not sure if it's due to the way I'm sleeping or another health issue. Any idea what might be going on?

The red dots on your penis head could be caused by various factors, such as: Fordyce spots (benign, small bumps) Pearly penile papules (small, harmless growths) Folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles) Since you're experiencing minimal itching, it's likely not a serious condition. Consult a dermatologist or a urologist for a proper examination and diagnosis. Avoid scratching or popping the bumps, as this can lead to infection or scarring.

I'm noticing I've had poor blood circulation for about a week now. When I keep my hands raised for just a few seconds, they start tingling and getting numb. Could you let me know which type of doctor I should consult for this? Is it related to a nerve problem? Which medical specialty would this fall under?
