Benign problem: This sounds like either muscle fasciculations (twitches) which you usually can feel when palpated, or a circulatory anomaly (varicose veins or a rare condition a-v fistula, an abnormal connection between veins and arteries). See a doctor if it persists.

Leg discomfort: Your question is too general to answer. Leg discomfort or pain can be a sign of serious and or correctable disease states such as arterial disease or neurologic disease. It can more simply be due to one of several forms of arthritis. You should seek an appointment with your primary care physician to review your symptoms and guide your care.

Alpha-hydroxy acid: Otc products containing alpha-hydroxy acid (aha) or glycolic acid or beta-hydroxy acid (bha) or salicylic acid or Lactic Acid or urea can help to minimize pores. A longer term solution is doing laser hair removal which destroys the hair follicle which makes the pores appear much lessened and helps the skin become smoother.

Im 33 years old and after sitting for a while my legs fall seriously asleep. Is this normal?

Dr. Oliver Aalami answered

No: It is normal for legs occasionally to fall asleep with certain dramatic positions which cause compression of arteries, especially when the positions are held for long periods of time. If your legs are falling asleep every time you sit in a normal position, you should have your circulation evaluated.

You may also want to be evaluated for lumber spine stenosis and nerve damage, so-called pseudo-claudication. May need MRI or CT of lumbar spine if the patient has good pulses.

See your doc: Could be bug bites, local skin infection, allergic reaction to meds, cosmetics, soaps, etc,
could be a sign of more serious issues, including cardiac/valve issues.
See your doc.
