I've been dealing with this really painful lump between my buttocks, right near the tailbone area, and it's making sitting super difficult. I was looking it up and it sounds a lot like a Pilonidal cyst based on the symptoms. I'm really in need of some relief from this pain. What should I do?

My keratosis pilaris is really bad all over my body arms, chest, stomach, legs, shoulders, thighs. I've seen multiple dermatologists but nothing has worked so far. Right now I'm using Retino-A 0.0025 but even that isn't helping much. Are there any laser treatments or plastic surgery options for KP in Mumbai?

I'm really concerned about using skin creams and I recently used Skinlite cream. I'm thinking about trying Melaglow next, but I'm worried if it's safe for my skin after using Skinlite. If it's not, can you recommend a cream that's safe for skin whitening? Would really appreciate your help!
