My husband recently was diagnosed with a deviated
septum and referred to an ENT. He has a slight left
hand curve in his nose and is not sure if he broke it
when he was younger. He is 30 years old and does not
take any medication or use nasal sprays. Is there
any information on surgery to correct his problem? I have only been able to find information about the pre-surgery. To my dismay, I found that most people who have had the surgery are not happy with
the results. What are the risks with this surgery and what can my husband expect? He is wary of having it done even but the
deviated septum doesn't allow him to breathe well, have headaches, constant congestion, and nosebleeds.

Over the past three months my friend's left leg seems to have lost
weight. It is approximately 2" smaller in diameter than the left leg
and it is almost continually numb. Any ideas what may cause this?

I recently saw an ad for a patch that is supposed to help acne
scars. It says that it can reduce the appearance of scars and make
the skin look smoother and more even. I don't know the name of the
drug, but was wondering how good it works? What type of scars does it
work best on?
