I have a recurrent problem with the skin at the corners of my mouth. The skin gets irritated with small cracks. It gets better, then for no apparent reason returns. What could be causing this condition? Can I prevent it from recurring?
I’m a 42-year-old man and have been suffering from prostatitis for the past two years, which seems to come and go. My doctor says this is not uncommon for men my age. I’m worried, though, that this increases my risk of eventually developing prostate cancer. Is there a link? And what can I do to prevent the prostatitis from coming back?
Is it necessary to get an annual pap and gynecologic exam if I’ve had a partial hysterectomy?
I have woken up a few times in the past couple months gasping for breath. It feels like my airway is blocked. I gasp really hard and it wakes me up. The gasp is so loud that it makes my husband nervous. I have allergies and quite frequently my sinuses are clogged. So I can't breathe out of my nose, and have to sleep with my mouth open. I also have asthma but haven't had an attack in months. (I don't think these were asthma attacks.) Is my throat blocked because of post-nasal drip or could it be something more serious like sleep apnea?
My husband has started sweating profusely when he is asleep. His sweat has a strong cheesy smell and I can no longer tolerate it. I’m afraid this could be a sign of something serious. What can it be?

I was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia after complaining about sharp pains in my face. I am working with a neurologist to find an effective pain reliever. I?m wondering, though, what causes the pain? How does a person know which medications are most likely to help? What else can I do besides take drugs to help decrease the bouts of pain, both the number and severity?
I found out my friend’s daughter has a sore on her back infected with MRSA. I had also noticed a sore on the head of one of their dogs, but only after I pet the dog. Should I be concerned?

I have been diagnosed with inflamed saliva glands. I've lived with this condition for almost five years and it is driving me crazy. I have seen numerous doctors and none of them has been able to get rid of the problem. I have had some glands removed and have been tested for everything you can imagine. Please give me some advice on where I can turn next.
