I've had hidradenitis suppurativa for 10 years and I'm curious about CO2 surgery would it help my condition? I'm currently on medication like isotretinoin 20mg and clindamycin 300mg but still struggling with flare-ups. How effective is CO2 surgery compared to these meds and what should I expect?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I'm really struggling with dark circles and marks under my eyes. I've tried all sorts of face creams, face packs, and washes, but nothing seems to help. My skin is this annoying mix of oily and combination, and it always just looks dull. Do you have any advice on tablets or creams I should try?

For dark circles and dull skin, you can try using a combination of Vitamin C serum and retinol cream. You can use a Vitamin C serum in the morning to brighten the skin and reduce dark circles, and a retinol cream at night to improve skin texture and reduce marks. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin C supplements to further boost skin health. Make sure to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer suitable for oily and combination skin to keep your skin hydrated.
