I just have acne flareups on my cheeks that consist of one to four small cysts and whiteheads/blackheads. Do I really need to go to a skin specialist?

for the past several weeks i have been burping constantly. well not exactly constantly, but A LOT. just so you know, i do not drink any carbonated beverages, mostly water. i dont eat large meals and i am not overweight, actually i am a bit underweight. i have also had chest pain during the past several weeks. not sharp pain but more like pressure pain. occasionally i will lose my medicine in the toilet too when i have a bowel movement and this usually happens when i have bloating and gas, but this has been going on a lot longer like over a year but has only happened a handful of times. my nurse friend says it sounds like i have a malabsorption problem sometimes and that the constant belching sounds like gallbladder problems. but i thought gallbladder pain was supposed to be in the right side and she said the belching is an early sign and the pain will come later. so is this true?

doctors (for other things) and the dentist, and no one mentioned any concern. But now it is getting stranger. There is sort of a pimple there now and my lip in general looks more purplish, except for the whitened area. None of this can be from any kind of lipstick, etc. because I don't use any. In any case, I don't want to make a special trip into doctor-thought some of you out there might know what might be going on, have had a similar experience or have some medical knowledge-would appreciate your feedback. Anything I can do/not do regarding it? Oh, and it's been there a long time now-except for the pimpling-which is recent. What can I do to make it go away?

When I look up abdominal pain and bananas, they say to eat bananas because they are bland. Not me. They cause immediate pain. I've experimented with other foods to ensure it is in fact bananas causing it.

my left arm on the left side, running down to my pinky and ring finger. It's been going on all night and morning. Also noticed it the other night, but briefly, playing a gig at a reception. No pain, just feel like that one part of my arm has fallen asleep. Pinched nerve or something else?

I had a sore throat yesterday, and I keep blowing my nose, and I have headache, and sometimes I fell weak...is it the common cold, or is it the symontoms of the flu.

and the hand loses function/feelings... after the nerve has been surgically reattached and the long process takes place for the nerve regenerate.... when the nerve grows into the hand would the muscles that were previously commonly used through memory pick up from where it has left? for example, writing, holding a spoon, playing an instrument, etc

Hi gang, I'm a middle-aged lady; had a few illnesses in my life but not especially at the moment; and it seems as if all I want to do is sleep. I'll sleep through the alarm clocks in the morning; it's a real effort of will to get up and stay up; I drift off to sleep on train journeys or when I sit down of an afternoon or evening. I'm self-employed and really need to work hard and this inability to wake and stay awake is really distressing. Please help?

Thursday. I am concerned because my foot doesn't look any different to when they put it in plaster in fact it looks slightly worse. To boot the doctor didn't even look at it just said can you stand on it I said yes and off he went.
However my foot is still very bruised and swollen as is my ankle, the back of my heel and lower leg and if I walk on if for more than a couple of minutes the whole lot swells up like a balloon!. Should I just wait and see what happens, see my own doctor or go to a Sports Injury Clinic, I really don't know what to do at the moment.

Am supposed to go back to work in just under 2 weeks and I walk there and back which is a couple of miles, but the way my foot is looking I don't think I will be able to do that.
