Question 1

I've had hidradenitis suppurativa for 10 years and I'm curious about CO2 surgery would it help my condition? I'm currently on medication like isotretinoin 20mg and clindamycin 300mg but still struggling with flare-ups. How effective is CO2 surgery compared to these meds and what should I expect?

Accepted Answer

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

Question 2

I'm having some trouble with my skin color. I've noticed that the skin on my buttline is really dark, even more so than my inner thighs, which are dark too. Is there any way to deal with this? It's kinda bothering me, and I'm not sure what to do.

Accepted Answer

Buttline skin is more black than inner thighs This condition is known as acanthosis nigricans, which is characterized by thick, dark, velvety skin in body folds and creases. To help improve this condition, you can try using a topical cream containing Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Corticosteroids. An example of a cream that combines these ingredients is Tri-Luma cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight, managing any underlying medical conditions like diabetes, and wearing loose-fitting clothing can also help improve the appearance of the skin.

Question 3

I'm a bit confused about my test results. I tested negative for VDRL and RPR, but my TPHA came back positive at 1160. What does this mean for me in terms of timing or stage of syphilis? I've already taken a 2g dose of Azithromycin. Should I be concerned about needing Penicillin or Doxycycline too?

Accepted Answer
