I've been dealing with hidradenitis in both armpits and it's really affecting my daily life. Is there any permanent solution for this condition? Would surgery be the most effective treatment option? I've heard about laser surgery - could that be a possibility for my case?

Laser or surgical excision can offer long-term relief from hidradenitis—consult a dermatologist or surgeon for evaluation.

I started losing my hair after having COVID and it seemed to settle for a bit, but now its back and even worse. My doctor told me to use 1 ml of minoxidil twice a day and also suggested using 1 ml of a racine pro hair serum, which also contains minoxidil, once a day. I'm a bit worrieddoes using these together make sense? Is it safe to have the extra minoxidil from the serum too?
