Question 1

I've noticed this weird dent at the top of my skull, like where a baby's soft spot would be, and I'm not sure how long it's been there. It's a little tender if I press on it, but not really painful. I haven't had any serious head injuries, just the usual bumps. Do you think this is something that could just develop over time, or should I be worried about it?

Accepted Answer

A soft spot in the skull or fontanelle is a normal feature for babies, but unusual for adults. If you are experiencing tenderness in that area, it may be worth getting it checked by a healthcare professional.

Question 2

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?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms, the white patches could be:

1. *Vitiligo*: An autoimmune condition causing skin depigmentation.
2. *Pityriasis Alba*: A harmless skin condition causing white patches, often on elbows and knees.
3. *Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)*: A skin condition causing white patches, redness, and itching.
4. *Psoriasis*: An autoimmune condition causing white, scaly patches.

Consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. They may recommend:

1. Topical creams or ointments
2. Light therapy
3. Oral medications

Share your medical history, including the treatment you received at 17, to help the dermatologist make an accurate diagnosis.

Question 3

I'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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Why do I forget things so quickly?

Severe stress, depression, a vitamin B-12 deficiency, insufficient sleep, some prescription drugs and infections can all play a role.
