Be On Embarrassing Bodies

Embarrassing Bodies is making a series of special programmes to tackle your weight problems.
Are you too embarrassed to see your GP? Apply now for the chance of an on-screen consultation with one of our doctors.
Have you suffered from rapid weight loss or weight gain? Have you been left with unwanted excess skin? Are you suffering with a weight problem that you just can’t shift? Do you have a really bad diet? Fertility problems? Do you struggle to sleep? Could you have an underlying problem and want to get it checked out?

We’re looking for people who are either too embarrassed to go to the doctor or have failed to find success through prior consultations and procedures.
If selected, your condition will be treated by qualified professionals. Your involvement will raise awareness about your condition, helping other sufferers to seek the treatment they need.

Hello I am 69 and for the last 24 years have been having tests for an allergy, it now turns out it is a massive excess of ethanol in my gut which appears to have similar symptoms to allergies.Unfortunately,although it makes me very very ill there seems to be no cure.
I think it could be helpful to other viewers who think they have allergy if they were made aware of this distressful problem and all the things that go with it.

Hi, my name is daniel and i would like to inquire about something which is rather embarrasing, located on the lower part of my penis.
i was circumcised when i was very young due to my foreskin being too tight. now i am much older, and i have noticed over the last couple of years, that just before the skin reaches the tip of my penis, there is a disgusting red mass which goes all around my penis, and on the lower part, there is a single piece of skin which sticks out and hangs, and it looks horrible. any help offered will be greatly appreciated.
