I've been struggling with hidradenitis suppurativa for years and tried tablets with no relief. Recently had surgery but still no improvement. My doctor suggested Humira injections - is this a good option? Also, could you recommend the best specialists for this in Ahmedabad or nearby areas in Gujarat? What are the names of similar injections available in India?

Humira (adalimumab) is an option for treating hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), especially when other treatments have failed. It's a biologic drug that helps reduce inflammation, a key factor in HS. If your doctor recommends Humira, it's worth exploring, but it's crucial to discuss potential side effects and risks with them. Other similar injections, also biologics, available in India for HS include BIMZELX® (bimekizumab-bkzx) and COSENTYX® (secukinumab)

View allI'm really worried because I've been dealing with itching in my testicles for the last two weeks, and it's just getting worse. I've been taking some medication for three days now, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. What should I do next?
You may be experiencing a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting underwear to help with the itching.

I've been feeling something unusual around a certain area when I move, like an extra growth or something. It's been kind of painful too, and lately, I've even noticed a burning sensation there. It's pretty uncomfortable and I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me understand why this might be happening?
That could be Hemorrhoids, visit surgeon for evaluation and appropriate management and consume fibre rich foods and plenty of water

I woke up this morning with a blister filled with what seems like water on my left leg. I'm unsure why this happened or if I need to see a doctor about it. Any ideas on what could have caused this or what I should do?
That could be heat boil or any sort of insect bite, do not try to squeeze it, visit surgeon for appropriate management
