The superstition about nose itching being a sign of impending argument is just a myth. _Common Causes of External Nose Itching_ 1. *Dry skin*: Cold weather, dry air, or over-washing can cause dryness and itching. 2. *Allergies*: Seasonal allergies, skin allergies, or allergic reactions to products (e.g., soap, makeup) can lead to itching. 3. *Skin conditions*: Eczema, acne, or seborrheic dermatitis can cause itching and irritation. 4. *Irritants*: Exposure to chemicals, fragrances, or other irritants can cause itching. _To Soothe the Itching_ 1. Apply moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. 2. Avoid scratching, which can lead to further irritation. 3. Use gentle, fragrance-free products. 4. Consider over-the-counter anti-itch creams or hydrocortisone cream.

I've been dealing with this weird fruity smell on my breath and skin for about 13 months now, and my sweat has this strange syrupy scent too. My friend noticed it, and everything I read online points to diabetes. I had a full blood count done 3 months ago, and it came back fine, even with fasting. I'm really worried about thisdo you think I should see a doctor? I'm not having any other symptoms really, and I know I'm a self-diagnosed hypochondriac, but this just seems like it could be diabetes. What do you think?

I'm 40 years old and I did a blood sugar test last week. My fasting was 124 and my postprandial (pp) was 97. I'm trying to understand why my fasting level is high since I'm not on any diabetes medication. I ran for 40 minutes just before doing this check for my fasting sugar, and I was sweating by the time I reached the lab. Could this have affected my sugar reading?
decrease in kidney size can be a good sign, but it's essential to understand the context. _Interpretation_ 1. _Variation in measurement_: The 0.9cm difference in kidney size might be due to variations in measurement techniques or equipment between the two diagnostic centers. 2. _Spontaneous improvement_: In some cases, a decrease in kidney size can indicate spontaneous improvement or resolution of an underlying condition, such as a cyst or inflammation. 3. _No cause for concern_: Since all other parameters are normal, and you're not experiencing any symptoms, this decrease in kidney size might not be a cause for concern. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss the ultrasound reports with your doctor to determine the best course of action. 2. _Monitor kidney function_: Regularly monitor your kidney function through blood tests (e.g., serum creatinine, eGFR) to ensure there are no underlying issues. 3. _Follow-up ultrasound_: Schedule a follow-up ultrasound in 6-12 months to monitor any changes in kidney size or function. _When to Seek Immediate Attention_ 1. _Severe symptoms_: If you experience severe symptoms, such as flank pain, hematuria, or fever. 2. _Abnormal kidney function_: If your kidney function tests reveal abnormal results. 3. _Rapid changes in kidney size_: If you notice rapid changes in kidney size or function.
