Answer 1

Skin lump causes: Lumps felt under the skin can have many causes from simple things like swelling and bruising from local trauma, benign cysts of oil glands, benign localized fatty tissue collections ( lipoma), infections ( boil or abscess), to more serious causes up to and including cancerous masses. Any persistent, enlarging or painful lumps should be evaluated.

Answer 2

Find why: You need to be checked to find out what is causing your weight loss please.

Answer 3

NBE treatment: My treatment restores health. I cure all kind of chronic pain and other disorders using an east/west therapy called nbe without drugs. Check out thousands of cases from radio shows, youtube and patient letter testimonies posted on cowww.Drtong.M. Most patients felt dramatic relief with their very first nbe treatment. Learning lifestyle and diet modification can result in a long-term cure.

Answer 4

Yes: They should.

Answer 5

Eyelash growth: This depends upon the type of loss. If cut, burned, or by chemo, or otherwise lost with preservation of the lash roots, then the lashes will grow back. If lost from lid destruction or severe disease like advanced eczema, then regrowth might be spotty or not at all.

Answer 6

DM 1: Seems like you need a sound primary care physician. Hospitalization is only indicated if things can't be manged on outpt basis.

Answer 7

Real life: Inpatient is not a good idea because even if you get it under control, you won't be under the same setting once you leave the hospital. It's best to work with your diabetes care team in real life setting. Keep close contact with your doctor, fax log sheets, see diabetes educator/dietician, get a refresher course... These are things that are more realistic.

Answer 8

Usually: Thats usualy the story pradjusent ct and post adjustment ct show no change in vetrebral position.

Answer 9

If it feels good OK: If going to a chiropractor makes you feel good , thank continue. However as with any treatment if it doesn't help and makes you feel worse than stop.

Answer 10

Itchy area: It could be due to a dermatitis involving that specific local area, such as contact dermatitis or fungal infection. The area should be examined by a physician to find out exactly what this means.

Answer 11

Back itching: This may be a condition called nostalgia paraesthetica, a localized itch most commonly localized to just below the scapula on one side - see http://rarediseases.Info.Nih.Gov/gard/disease.Aspx?Pageid=4&diseaseid=7225. Of course, it's impossible to make an accurate diagnosis without examining the area. Other causes are possible, so see your dermatologist.

Answer 12

Nostalgia parastheti: This is a localized itching or even burning sensation on the upper back which will become disclosed from scratching and rubbing. There is damage to a small nerve fiber .Treatmentvcan include topical steroids and anesthetic, for resistant cases an injection of dilute steroids and anesthetic can improve the condition.
