My mom has been feeling something really strange lately, like there's a movement on the left side of her head, almost like something's crawling inside. It's making her itch a lot, and we're not sure what to do. She's now feeling this crawling sensation in her thigh and arm too, but it happens more often in her head. She's been taking medicine for weak veins, and I'm worried if this is something serious. Can you guide us on who we should consult for this?

It sounds like your mother is experiencing unusual sensations, possibly related to nerve or circulation issues, especially with her history of weak veins. Its important to consult a neurologist or a vascular specialist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. While it may not be dangerous, it's best to get it checked to rule out any serious conditions.

I was recently diagnosed with a cervical herniated disc and now have numbness in my first three fingers and arm weakness. The pain in my neck and shoulder has gotten better with meds but the numbness is still there. Is there a way to fix this without surgery

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: 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.
