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'm really worried because I've had this fungal infection for about three months now and even after trying a lot of medicines, nothing seems to be helping. I'm currently taking Candiforce 200 mg. Can you advise if there's something else I should do or maybe a different treatment I should consider?

I've been dealing with an itchy scrotum and these light white plaques on it for almost a year now. I just started using Terbinafine cream a couple of days ago. Any idea what I should do from here? I'm really curious if this treatment is enough or if there's something else I should consider.

I've been struggling with these heat boils that show up around my private area whenever I'm about to have my period. They're filled with pus and even blood sometimes, and it's incredibly painful. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

This could be due to a condition called folliculitis or an infection of the hair follicles. To help with this issue, you can try using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin on the affected area twice a day after cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, taking a course of oral antibiotics like Augmentin or Keflex as prescribed by a doctor can also help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to prevent further irritation. If the boils persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
