appears white in photos. could there be something wrong? >> and welcome to another after the show edition of the doctors. we strive to give our guests and viewers the best medical information possible, and sometimes we don't stop answering questions even when the show is over. here's what happened after a recent taping of "the doctors". >> what's your name? >> joy. >> joy, what is your question for the docs? >> i am so happy you are here. i have a huge question. because of eating disorders i suffered with, i have a ton of upper and lower gi problems. and in the last two years, i have been diagnosed with ulcers, diverseiculitis, and adhesions in the stomach lining. if i don't stick to a strict diet and exercise, i get, like, bedridden sick. somewhat can i what can i do á to live normally. >> i lost 30 pounds and i don't want to gain the weight back. i want to stay healthy.

what can i do to stick to a diet so i am not in bed sick 8 hours of the day. >> first of all, you look great. congratulations on that. [ applause ] >> because, that's very important. you know, to have the mindset, the self-esteem, you know, to know that you can. what you need to do is start eating regularly. >> can i say that, um, i cured myself of 3 eating disorders by watching "the doctors", ask taking all of your advice. yours, yours, yours, all of you. [ applause ] >> okay, one of the things here, is, we don't realize the intestine is much like the heart, itmoses all the time. -- it moves all the time. it needs something in there because it produces toxic substances to digest food. if you spend a lot of time empty, you will have nothing in the intestines with nothing to neutralize it. as long as you go on any sort of plan, eating plan, you eat

regularly, never spend long periods of time without eating, all right? your intestines should kick backun normally. >> -- back up normally. >> i know acidic is bad. i problem i suffer problem >> i suffer problems with sodium. i get swoll yen with a fever, i sometimes vomit blood, i can't move, i lay on the right side >> dr. phil: am >> sometimes it's comitose, and it's because of sodium. á >> this is something a lot of patients do, they say, because of sodium, i get this. >> right. >> and you have to be careful, because what you wanna say is, okay in these situations i experience these symptoms. you don't want to say "because of sodium this happens". you think or perceive it's sodium, but it could be something else. >> that's a great take-home message, i don't get as nice as he does.

because we lose a lot of important information when you come in with an assumption. >> right. >> like that. it's rare actually that sodium can cause all of that. so, i don't know what else you may be eating. let me hit on the acidic point. acidity, citrus foods can cause worse heart burns but they don't contribute to the ulcers. acid in the stomach is so much more acidic, you can eat almost anything as long as it's regular. go to the doctor, and get a good accounting about this sodium thing. >> sodium can cause bloating. >> absolutely. >> water retention, yeah. >> talking about what you are eating, foods that have roughage, a lot of lettuce, cabbage, spinach, also nuts and popcorn, those kinda things, depending on the state of your intestines may keep it irritated, they're more difficult to digest. you may not - not eliminate -

but reduce the consumption. >> good ovrall health usually does not involve a metabolism booster over the counter. >> like vegetables and fiber? >> absolutely, on a regular basis, every day. >> but thank you very much. >> thank you guys so much. >> keep a food journal. we hope you are doing better. >> and we want to open up the forum for another question. how about you? >> i am esther. >> esther, how are you? >> good, how are you. >> excellent. what's been going on? >> i have had a mark on my lip for about 4 years and i am not sure what it is. i thought it was a pimple. but, i tried to pop it, that was 4 years ago. it still hasn't gone away. so, i am not sure what this is. >> well, pimples shouldn't last 4 years. drew, do you want to -- >> anything that's been there for your years - four years, that's suspicious, á i need to take a look at it.

when you say you tried to pop it, did you get anything out of there? >> not really, just blood. >> you don't have anything like this anywhere else on your body? >> no, it just started showing up one day, it might have been because i used to lay out in the sun. >> that doesn't come and go at all? >> no, it stays there. >> there all the time? >> uh-huh. >> does it hurt, is it tender? >> no, it doesn't hurt. >> clearly, it's been there 4 years, it's not getting bigger. i am safe in saying that it's probably not a cancer. it looks more like a vascular thing. maybe an irritation. but, what they teach us in medicine is, #1 thing is, make a diagnosis. and the only wa i can make a diagnosis on something like this for sure, would be to do a little biopsy. >> okay. >> which i could do for you here, back in our exam room. send it to the pathologist. he looks at it under the microscope, and you will get your answer. >> okay, great.

thank you. >> let's go do it right now, come on. >> you are sure you can do the show without me? >> drew, we can do the show without you; it's never as good ... [ laughter ] >> actually, you know what? >> let's go to the procedure room right now. drew, can you hear us out here? >> i sure can. >> you know what we're gonna do, we will not only get a diagnosis, the size of this lesion, i can remove this whole thing. this is an excisional biopsy. we will remove it and get a diagnosis at the same time. obviously i have to gate heather comfortable. -- get heather comfortable. this is a touch of novacane, sorry esther. you will see this blanch a bit and swell up. so i will get her nice and numb. we want to take care of this once and for all for you. and, um, are you ready? >> yes. >> so, as i said, we will remove the whole thing. i will excise it.

and i will follow the vermilion border. can you open for me? turn a little this way? now to do this right, i need to put my finger in your mouth, and you will see that i am just going to remove this little thing as an ellip,se, right? like so ... are you all right? >> uh-huh. >> i am sure if you were not, you would let me know. so i am going to just excise that like so. right? there is our specimen. i think it's -- this is pretty vascular. i think this is probably a little hemangioma. a granuloma. it had a lot of blood vessels. probably from trauma. >> drew, if it is that, what's the likelihood of it coming back or re-growing? >> i think we got it under control. so the next step you will see me do, is get this dry.

because i do have -- you see that? that's a nice clean bed. you see that? >> so you are cauterizing it nicely? >> cauterizing. >> really good. >> i think we need to sedate the audience. >> i do need help, dr. sears. dr. sears? yes. where were you 5 minutes ago? >> am i your surgical nurse. i will hand you tools? >> and you can wipe my brow. >> nice. excellent. [ laughter ] >> actually, jim, can you get on the other side for me? >> okay. >> put a little pressure on this while i load up my suture? >> all righty. >> just, you know -- >> gotcha. >> now, she's a little older than your usual patient, jim. but you are cool, right? >> yep. >> replace the incision in the vermilion in the natural border there. >> drew, can you explain what the vermilion is. you have used that term several times. >> the vermilion border is just that natural white line of the lip, the transition

from the pink. doctor? >> when i put one more stitch in, you will not even see -- >> how long do you want it? >> i would like it just right, about a quarter of an inch. >> right there. >> not too short, not too long. >> you must have gotten an a in surgery. >> esther's concern, she's a lovely young lady. her question, as everybody asks, you know: am i gonna have a scar? but i want you to take a close, close look at this now that i cleaned it up. we placed the incision in the vermilion. you can't see the cut-mark. we will make a diagnosis, "what is it" but it's gone! >> great drew. >> my question is, i am on my feet 12-15 hours, and i feel like it could be leading to circulation issues. >> when do you need to worry about your circulation? >> i get to a point where if i

sit down for the day, the knee pain is so bad i put it in one position, and i won't really wanna take it out of the position. >> all of the tips you need to know to prevent circulation pain. >> later. >> we are the doctors, you might as well take advantage of us. >> we surprise a staff member who's dealing with an uncomfortable issue. >> patty, are you upset with us? >> that's later! >> coming tomorrow. a doctor's exclusive. >> she's not allowed to see her friends. >> legendary radio personality. casey kasem's children fight for the right to see their ill father. >> with parkinson's disease, it's important for the patients to be socialized. >> i know how much it would mean to him if he could be around people his wife can have the money she wants: just give us our dad back! that's tomorrow, and then on monday. >> a 4-year-old boy. dying of cancer. >> he shaved his head, made

him wear a mask. >> is he a victim of medical child abuse, by his own mother? all new. comi overmany discounts to thine customers! [old english accent] safe driver, multi-car, paid in full -- a most fulsome bounty indeed, lord jamie. thou cometh and we thy saveth! what are you doing? we doth offer so many discounts, we have some to spare. oh, you have any of those homeowners discounts? here we go. thank you. he took my shield, my lady.

these are troubling times in the kingdom. more discounts than we knoweth what to do with. now that's progressive.

with an audience of nearly 200 people, there are always questions left unanswered after the show. we often stick around and answer a lot more questions when the cameras stop rolling. here's what happened next after a recent taping when we decided to keep the cameras rolling. >> my question is, i am on my feet 12-15 hours, sometimes

more within a day. i have two jobs and i go to school. and i feel like it could be leading to circulation issues. i wanna know what could i do to help, like, during the day while i am active or on my feet, to help maybe eliminate that. and if it's correlated. >> when you say you are on your feet, doing what? >> i work, i have two jobs. cleaning and moving and standing on my feet at the register. i get crazy low are back pains when i am on my feet for a long period of time. the circulation issue is with the knees. i get to a point where, once i sit down for the day or if i am sleeping, my knee pain is so bad, like, i will put it in one position, and i won't even wanna take it out of the position, because it hurts so bad. >> a couple of things could be going on from an orthopedic standpoint. the first concern is standing all the time. if you are standing and not moving a lot, for let's say a half hour at a time or so, you

have to keep the blood circulating in the lower extremities. the blood goes down and has to pump back up, if you are not contracting the muscles in your legs it could pool in the legs. if you are on a flight, it's the same situation. toe raises are the best. you put your feet shoulder-widt the toes like this. hold it one-2-3, down. >> simple exercise, what it does, is, it contracts your muscles and by contractoring your muscles you help -- contract your muscles and help pump the blood back up. >> as far as your back is concerned, sitting or standing for long periods of time, your low are back, right . >> yes. >> that's the lower lumbar á region, a lot of energy and pressure goes to the lumbar region because of the way the spine is constructed. okay? i tell people all the time in this situation, you have got to stretch. you have got to get your lower

back out of the static position it's been in. so, i, you know, 5 minutes every couple of hours, of, you know, forward flexion is good, coming down to hold. and then like this. this is very, very good. and also side to side. because you know, your spine moves at all different angles. so when you are at work ... >> and you are serving your customers, you gotta remember to serve yourself. subtle movements takes the pressure off of your back. and -- because if you stand in one spot every single muscle tenses up. >> okay. >> you actually have what we call a vargus formation in your knees where you are actually, the way that your knees come down is more at an angle. what will happen is as you start to get older, if you don't start exercising regularly now and strengthening the quadraceps, you will end up with arthritis. start walking to work, doing more cardio vascular exercises

to strengthent legs now -- strengthen the legs now, it will prevent issues down the line. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> one of the things they love about our show is that -- [ applause ] >> that's a lot of spontinaity. the producers in the control room can talk to me through an ear piece . if they want me to go to a specific tape or go to an animation, our executive producer patty said in the ear, let's go to the next guest, and i thought, what an appropriate time -- >> patty, if that were you, to be the person to ask a question. because i know that you have been dealing with issues with your -- with your eyes. and we are the doctors, patty. you might as well take advantage of us. >> all right, travis. i do. um, late lye my -- lately my eyes are burning and itching every day when i put my contacts in. what can i do? >> hold on, hold on. >> patty, patty. are you upset with us?

>> i mean ... i'm ... whatever. >> i do have this issue, so it would be helpful to get the answer. >> to understand the context here, patty is our boss, she's behind the camera, she doesn't wannabe in front of the camera. she's a little like, are you serious? that's what's happening. >> thank you, ian. that's exactly what's happening. >> the favor i have to ask of you, patty, is to take off the producer hat for a moment and put on your patient hat. because dr. carey o'seal was here, and i asked him to stick around knowing we would give you an opportunity - we will not force you - but an opportunity to get an exam right now in the greenroom with dr. o'seal. he's in there waiting, he has his equipment. if you are willing. >> all right, patty! [ applause ] >> what is that you tell me?

we all have to do things we don't like to do sometimes. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> see, what's great, patty, is, when you work on the doctors, the doctor comes to you. >> thank you travis! [ applause ] >> coming up. >> all right accident travis, late >> all right, travis, lately my eyes are burning and itching every day when i put in the contacts. >> itchiness tiply suggests -- >> -- typically suggests ... >> and later. i am always on the computer, i started developing pain in my hand. i think it could be carpel tunnel syndrome . >> how to know if your hand pain is something serious. >> you feel numbness throughout the hand and in both hands there's a chance it could be something else. >> plus, a medical confessional that will shock you. that's later! >> announcer: a doctor's exclusive. >> he's not allowed to see his friends, his brother or kids. >> casey kasem's kids, the

court battle to see their father. a

rhonchi ♪ >> today it's all about what happens after the show. we never know what we will be asked or what to expect. as is the case with our executive producer, patty. we surprised her in the last segment, because weigh knew she was having -- we knew she was having issues with burning and dry eyes. so we called in our own dr.

o'seal. >> they asked me to join you today because you are having difficulty with the contactulences? >> i -- contact lenses. >> i put them in and they burn. so i took them out and had to wear glasses. >> you are rubbing your eyes a lot? >> itchy, tired and burning. >> itchiness typically suggests allergy. allergy could be something in the environment. or it could be to the contacts themselves. the fact that, when you take them out for a few days, do they start to feel better? >> yeah, instantly, when i take them out at night, they feel better. >> based on what you are describing, it's resistance to the contacts themselves and the burning suggests dry eye. these go hand in hand. eyes that are dry become untolerant to contacts more easily. when you have dryness to the surface, the contact lenses and eyelid rubbing over the contact lenses 3,000 times a year, it will be become more dry, and you can get blisters

underneath the surfaceof the lids making it uncomfortable to wake contacts. >> let's -- wear contacts. >> let's tang -- take a look. >> we are going through a dry weather spell, it's dryer and windier, the santa anna winds kicking up. >> people who have worn contact lenses comfortable, for many, many years and why are they now suddenly having problems? some people cannot tolerate them, and others can go 50 years before these types of problems kick in. medications can affect it. with all of those medications, once you stop the medicine, the dryness goes, away. >> look up high. i will squeeze on your eyelids. and i know u -- you have the contacts in. i am squeezing to see what kind of oil you are producing. i am getting a good idea of what's going on. >> she's a little injected,

isn't she? >> a little bit. more important than that, look up high. more importantly, i find that her oil glands are not producing-- >> not getting much out of there at all. >> what does that mean? >> you have a few things going o. one is the contact lenses are irritating the eyes, because the surface doesn't have great lubrication, because you have mild allergy and dry eye. >> tears are made of three components. mucin, mucous/water/oil. when there isn't enough oil in the tears the water evaporates. every time we blink a tiny packet of oil is liberated into the tear film. you are not getting much oil liberated because the oil is stuck in the glands and as the day goes on, you blink more and more, the eyes are dry, they start to burn, the contact is firm against the eye, and when you take it off

at night, you feel the resistance. >> it's like it's stuck to my eye. >> absolutely. >> what do i do? >> solutions, little things you can do are preservative free artificial tears. decreasing the amount of time you wear the contacts is probably the single most important thing you do. >> otherwise, the blisters forming underneath the surface will become like cobble stones, like little rocks ask then they -- rocks, and then they become scars, and then you got issues more permanently. >> terrible. >> we will treat you with various medications designed to get the oil production going stronger. and i may put you on drops or pills. ultimately you will come to the point where the decision will be whether to keep wearing contacts - that will be a tough one - versus going to lasiks or glasses? >> i am scared of lasiks. >> in your circumstance, lasiks is 50 times safer than contactulences.

>> -- contact lenses. >> once you have symptoms from the contacts, the lasiks is less risky. as long as lasiks is properly performed, of course . >> and i will do a preliminary screening, to see your lasiks candidacy. you will have treatments in hand to use, and you will know your future options, as well. >> well, thank you so much, doctor! [ applause ] >> you got the million dollar -- >> patty, aren't you glad you got to see the doctor today? >> i really have to say i am. this has been a problem. so i am really excited to know that it's -- there's something i can do. >> you are a living, breathing example, we all get busy with work, and we put things off. now we have you on track to hopefully improved vision, and dr. o'seal, we can't thank you so much for -- thank you enough for helping out. >> thank you so much.

>> and how about you, sir? what's your name? >> edwin. >> what's going on? >> i am a graphic designer by trade. i am always on the computer, always, 24 hours basically. and, um, i started about a few months ago, i started to develop a lot of pain in the hand, a lot of throbbing pain, my finger tips go numb. sometimes they lock up in the morning, and so, i think, i don't know, but i think it could be carpel tunnel syndrome. and my question is, basically, how do i alleviate the pain without surgery? >> first things first. >> you need to make a proper diagnosis. so when you say these words, numbness in the fingers, show me which fingers get numb? >> the middle finger and the finger next to it. >> do you get numbness in the pinky finger? >> yes. >> this is an important distinction the carpel tunnel s affects the median nerve affecting this half of your

hand. you feel numbness in the thumb, index finger and third digit and part of this side of your 4th digit. the fact that you feel numbness throughout the hand and in both hands, there's a chance that it could be something else, as well. so, you know what? do we have -- i know we built a carpal tunnel animation a few years ago. if we have that in the control room, could we pull that up? >> standby. >> thank you so much, lynn. >> can i take the bracelet off? >> and what you are seeing here, the median nerve gets compressed, they call that carp will tunnel, it becomes -- carpel tunnel. if it's in a compressed position, that median nerve gets irritated and it causes throughout the distribution in the hand, causing numbness, tingling and pain. and so, the more you irritate what's called the carpel tunnel, the greater the symptoms are. >> you need a formal evaluation. there are things we can do.

literally, we do this tapping on the median nerve. these are not super sensitive. >> did that cause pain? >> is that similar to the pain you are feeling? >> yeah. >> well, you know, that's -- >> and so ... you know, that's a positive. do this other thing for me. take your hands. >> yeah. >>and put them together like this, and hold them at a 90 degree angle. does that reproduce the symptoms? the numbness and pain? these are not super sensitive, but they're tests that will do for the median nerve compression. >> you can have carpel tunnel going on with other things because it could possibly be the tendons causing you to lock up like that. the radial nerve. there's a lot that could be happening in that hand. and it's important to see a specialist to get the diagnosis. >> evan, thanks for the question. >> appreciate it. >> announcer: coming up next. >> generally speaking how often do you get these boils? a medical confessional, so

embarrassing, the patient is naples. >> don't be -- anonymous. >> don't be sorry. do you have a mouthwash that works all day? even after you eat and drink? well i do. it's new colgate total® mouthwash. the germ killing shield works for 12 hours. new colgate total® mouthwash. 12 hour protection against germs. even after eating and drinking! got it! i...did not get it.

♪ >> when our tapings end, sometimes we head into the audience, where more often than not, we get a lot of

personal questions that you never get to see at home. we now have an "after the show series" on "the doctors". our next audience member was so embarrassed she requested to stay anonymous inside the medical confessional. here's what happened. >> i met someone during a previous show, that wanted to ask a question anonymously, they're behind the medical confessional. we will not reveal the identity, you wanted to ask a question, so go for it. >> okay. for years, myself, my sisters and my mother, we all get boils on the inner thigh, panty line area. what can i do to prevent them or stop them from coming. what can i do? >> generally speaking how often do you get these boils? >> pretty much, maybe every few weekings or something. it's -- weeks or something. every time i look up i have one. >> every few weeks or so. you diagnosed them as boils or the doctor told you that?

>> i have had them for years and i went in to have them checked to make sure it wasn't something else. so the doctor. >> she's ahead of the game, she's gone in and had them checked and the doctors said they are boiled. they hurt? >> yes, they last for up to 5 days and can be painful when they come to a head. and then they will bust or puss or whatever, and then just go away. but when they come back, they come back in the same spot they were in before. >> can you take a picture, or do i -- do you have a picture. >> i have a couple of pictures with me. >> i will step back here. let me see that. hi. oh, okay. yeah . okay. well, travis, really it looks like what we call foliculitis, your hair folicle, gets bacteria trapped into the base of the hair folicle. and you end up with what we commonly call a boil.

it pusses over. doc, you wanna look? >> yeah, i would love to take a that's what i was thinking, and clearly that looks like the hair folicles are plugged. >> absolutely. >> and then, from the plug, it goes to the boil. they're part of the same process, the same cycle. >> uh-huh. >> if someone's getting these regularly, like our anonymous guest, how can they minimize these boils? >> a couple of things. i know everyone has different grooming habits in the pubic area, if you are using an agent causing you to have boils, periodically, we are gonna switch. i tell women, if you are gonna shave, use an anti-bacterial soap regularly in the hairline. and also upon, after you finished doing it, you want to put a little bit of hydrocortisone or something on the cream, and minimize the risk of you getting these. sometimes as a doctor, if it's a problem, happening every week, and these are painful, we may put you on a base line

oral antibiotic to keep it down. >> foliccuits is treated like acne, exfoliate a bit. open up the hair folicles. and then use something anti-bacterial, a benzoyl peroxide, something with an active ingredient that will take care of the bacteria sitting in the hair folicle. >> it's acne of the groin area. >> it is. it is. instead of a sebacious unit being inflamed it's the hair unit. but a similar process. >> so, so, i think, dr. rachael, the prescription here is really, change the grooming product, treat this potentially with anti-bacterials. >> absolutely. >> and if there's one area, and this is the one thing i wanted to touch upon; if there's one area consistently getting big, big boils over and over, sometimes --

>> sometimes you need an excision and drainage. >> that's what we learned in med school. a boil, the treatment is excision and drainage. >> absolutely. >> thank you for asking. >> thank you for sharing. >> patting you on the back. >> dr. rachel, i will let you return. >> so, i want to open the floor again. >> an important thing to understand, with diabetes, is, you can do everything right, okay? and your sugars can still get out of the control. and your sugars can still get out of the control. that's the nature of thank you, curél. and your sugars can still get out of the control. that'thank you, curél. thank you, curél. curél ultra healing lotion instantly relieves and prevents dry skin. your search for dry skin relief is over. retirement solutions from new york life

>> we have covered thousands've topics over the years á and we have had our

share of good times and laughs but also our share of tears. this came from an audience member, and this story will hit home for a lot of you watching. >>im lynn, hi doctors. >> what's going on. i am diabetic, i have diabetes type 2, recently, i have nuropathy. i take neuroptin, the legs get heavy when the blood sugars are high. the amputation is what i am scared of. what causes neuropathy. >> if it gets too high or too low, it's dangerous, when you talk about neuropathy in a diabetic patient we are talking about long term blood glucose control. it's important, because you are putting yourself at risk for not only worsening neuropathy, but along with that, poor blood flow. it's a double whammy for a diabetic patient. you can't feel your feet as well as you could. do you have situations you are

walking barefoot and you don't notice you steped on something? >> exactly, yes. >> so, so much of that -- do you want to sit down? >> yeah. >> go ahead and sit down. i will kneel down here with you. >> thanks. >> and docs, let's talk about this, because i think #1, you are in a situation, once you develop type 2 diabetes, the #1 thing we try to emfoicize to -- emphasize is that good blood glucose management is gonna prevent painful limbs heart disease, kidney disease, all of these scary things and neuropathy. >> type 2 diabetes, it means you develop it as a result of your body habits or later in life, verse type 1. type 1 is congentital, bah the insulin is on -- because insulin is not being produced properly by the pancreas. >> it's often related to your weight. it's related to weight, because as the fat cells increase in size, then your

insulin becomes less effective. your insulin is the hormone that your body uses to take the sugar up out of your blood and put it into the cells. >> to go back to the neuropathy question, i want people at home and you to understand, what's actually happening. i always say, think of your nerves, your neurons as like an extension cord, so you know how the extension cord has a coating on the outside? what happens is, over time, if the sugars are too high, the sugars act like an acid and eat the coating or lining off, so you have exposed wires that are firing off all the time, so you have numbness and heaviness and pain in the leg. so one thing that's very important over time as a diabetic, is that you keep your hemoglobin a1, less than 7. so your average blood sugar will be less than 140, usually all the time. >> when >> my mother passed away two years ago .... sorry.

[ sobbing ] >> the stress levels, i was in the hospital because i was in an abusive relationship. stress makes the blood sugar go up. i don't know how that works but i noticed that. >> i'm sorry .
