Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor, preferably a dermatologist.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Accepted Answer

Back pain : I have seen many people with spinal pain. I can't tell you how important an in-person examination is needed to help you. More details are needed; the nature of the pain physically and subjectively.   Back pain can come from bones, joints, ligaments, discs and can be affected by the function, alignment and movement and of all of these.

Accepted Answer

Get it evaluated: pain in the lower back that radiates to the leg may represent a variety of problems with the lumbar spine or the discs that separate the vertebrae.  Because certain activities may aggravate the problem and treatment such as physical therapy may alleviate it, it is important to see your physician and have the problem defined and treated.

Accepted Answer

Odor: Body odor can be a sign of either liver or kidney disease. Excessive sweating caused by hyperthyroidism a possibility. Foods such as alcohol, calciferous vegetables like broccoli or brussel sprouts, red meat, spicy foods and asparagus. Typically skin problems of the leg would be associated with overgrowth of bacteria or fungus. The groin would be a common area.

Question 10

pain on my lower back spread to my upper left leg' it huts a lot when i stand and start walking. it's ok when am sitting or in bed. ?

Accepted Answer

Low Back &amp; Up Leg Pn: Did symptoms start out of the blue or did some trauma occur to your back? When standing or walking, do symptoms lessen if you are bent forward? Does it completely resolve with sitting or laying in bed? Could be dealing with spinal stenosis (narrowing around your spinal nerve roots OR around your spinal cord). If conservative measures fail to ease symptoms, then MRI lumbar spine is prob warranted.
