A small area of my upper lip, left side, is not moving when I speak. When I smile or do other facial expressions, it appears normal or more normal. No other part of my face is drooping, abnormal, etc., just this one area. I've been asked twice in the last month if I've just been to the dentist as it looks like my mouth is still numb from dental work, but I have not. What could be the etiology of this and any cures?

My son is a healthy 12-year-old tennis player who recently started complaining of chest pain, describing it as a bruised, tender feeling directly in the center of his chest. Breathing has become difficult at times. He just walked into the room with his shirt off, and I was alarmed to see a deep indentation right in this area where he is referring to pain. There is no swelling, though. I have an appointment scheduled for him to see a doctor, but I'm quite concerned and would like to know any opinion you might have. Thank you.

Immediately after leaving the gym, I noticed itching and small red welts on my wrists, forearms, and neck. I took an over-the-counter allergy pill, but now the rash has spread all over my body, except my face, and it is unbearably itchy, especially on my palms and forearms. I am a 31-year-old female with no health problems and haven't introduced anything new to my diet. Hydrocortisone cream is not helping. Could this be caused by a release of toxins during my cardio workout?
