My mom's been having this burning sensation in both her feet, and it's been getting worse, especially at night. She's diabetic and weighs 89 kg. Im really worried because she can't sleep with the discomfort. Could it be neuropathy or something else related to her diabetes? What kind of treatment should she consider, and what type of doctor would be best to consult for this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

View allI'm looking for a doctor who can help me with the complications I've been facing due to using anabolic steroids. I also need guidance on how to manage things during and after my steroid cycles. Can someone with experience in these areas provide some advice? I'm really quite concerned about this and just want to make sure I'm handling everything properly.
Find a Specialist: You can search for these specialists through referrals, health networks, or direct consultations at your local hospital or private clinics. Test Your Health: Make sure you get baseline tests done before starting or after finishing a cycle, such as hormone panels, liver and kidney function tests, and cardiovascular screenings.

I've been noticing that I'm sweating a lot every time I step outside, and it's happening all day long, even when I'm just sitting under a fan or in an air-conditioned room. I'm starting to get worried about why I'm sweating so excessively. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can be bothersome. You can try using antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride hexahydrate, such as Certain Dri or SweatBlock. Apply it to dry skin at bedtime and wash it off in the morning. If over-the-counter antiperspirants do not help, you may consider prescription-strength options like Drysol, which contains aluminum chloride. Apply it to the affected areas at bedtime and wash off in the morning. Remember to follow the instructions provided with the product for best results.
