Question: I am 31 and I suffer from dreadful night sweats. They do get worse just before my period is due, but I'm getting them almost every night now. I sleep very badly and wake up absolutely drenched. I have no children and also suffer from acne. Is this all hormonal and what can I do about it?

Question: My son, who is 27, has chickenpox and acne marks on his face. Is there any way of reducing or getting rid of these marks without resorting to laser treatment?

Question: I have stress induced gastritis. For eight months I have had bloating, nausea and burning sensations. I am taking Ranitidine and Gaviscon and have taken up yoga and meditation. I don't drink, smoke or eat spicy food. My condition has improved but the unpleasant stomach problems still exist. Is this a common problem and should recovery take this long? 

Question: I'm 22 and for a few months last year I went through a stage of eating porridge and a lot of dairy products. Since then I've had spots I'm unable to get rid of despite not eating any porridge and very few dairy products for eight months. I drink about two litres of water a day and have recently done 24-hour fasts which have just made my skin worse. Can you recommend anything?

Question: I've been suffering from boils during the past 20 months on my cheek, elbow stomach, backside and under my breast. I eat a healthy low fat diet with lots of fruit and vegetables and take supplements. I exercise regularly as well. I've been for tests but nothing has shown up. Can you help?

Question: I have become very claustrophobic recently. I panic whenever there are too many people around me or in confined spaces. This has only started happening over the last few months since I've had a lot of stress. Could this be the cause and is there anything I can take to help?

Question: I have recurring warts on my hands. I've used everything that been recommended to me from the chemist's, but they keep coming back. Any advice?
