I've been dealing with a toenail fungus infection and have been on canditral 100 mg as a pulse treatmentdoing 7 days a month for the past 3 monthsand using clotrimazole USP lotion. But honestly, I haven't seen any improvement after a month of this regimen. Should I consider seeing a specialist or maybe switch up the treatment plan? Its getting a bit frustrating.

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‚Äîconsult a dermatologist or surgeon for evaluation.
