I have swelling in my lower legs and ankles, and red splotches on my legs in the same area. The swelling has been happening for several months, and the splotches are more recent, for a few weeks. I have high blood pressure and am type 2 diabetic. I have had two successful back surgeries within the last two years. My doctor increased my diuretic medication about 4 weeks ago, but the symptoms have continued. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should I consider?

For almost two years, the skin on the inside of my upper lip has been peeling off and soon replaces itself after I scrape it off. I have seen three doctors, including a specialist, but they don't know the cause. Mouth washes and scrubbing with an electric toothbrush help temporarily, but the thin, stubborn skin returns. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am 37 years old and interested in incorporating fasting into my lifestyle. I currently maintain a 12-14 hour gap between dinner and breakfast and want to take the next step. How should I proceed? Additionally, I have had mild buttock acne for 15 years, which hasn't responded to antibiotics, oral medication, or topical ointments. Can fasting cure this skin problem?

I have a herpetic whitlow with a large blister on my finger that is greenish red and throbbing. I took Motrin. Does it rupture on its own, should I pop it, and how long does it last? Does it heal without going to the doctor or ER? Can I buy over-the-counter medicine?
