View allI'm living in Bangalore and I'm noticing that after I take a bath, my facial skin feels really dry and it even starts cracking, it's happening with my legs too. I tried using Pond's cold cream, but it just makes my skin oily and doesn't really help. I've been considering trying extra virgin olive oil. Do you have any suggestions or can you recommend something else that might work?

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been dealing with this condition, HS, for over two years now. We thought surgery might help; she had it done three months ago on her armpits and groin area. But sadly, the problem's come back, and she's still in a lot of pain. I understand it's a chronic condition, but it's really affecting her quality of life, and even simple daily tasks are a struggle. I'm desperate to find a doctor who's experienced with these cases and can help with her recovery and pain management. Do you know anyone who specializes in this?

I'm dealing with some lumps popping up in my pubic area. They aren't too bad and seem like they've got pus in them. They come and go, but one got pretty bad and burst. I kept it clean and bandaged for a couple of weeks, and it went away. Now I've got two more, and it seems like they show up when there's pressure from my belt. I'm trying to wear my belt as little as possible, but I'm unsure how to stop these from appearing. Any advice on preventing this would be appreciated!
