I've been using Patchex tablets and Mel Bild solution for the past two months to deal with my patches. While Mel Bild seems to work on the existing patches, I've noticed that new ones keep popping up. Is this normal, or should I be worried about something else going on? What should I do next?

It seems like the current treatment is not fully effective in preventing the formation of new patches. I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol cream to help reduce inflammation and prevent the development of new patches. Apply a thin layer of Clobetasol cream on the affected areas once daily for 4 weeks, then gradually taper off.

View allI'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)

I've noticed this lump on my right hip and initially thought it might turn into a boil, but it hasn't. Instead, it's become hard and painful. Any idea who I should see about this?
