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 worried about this issue I've been having for the past 4 years. It's not hereditary; I'm pretty sure it's because of my allergies, like the running nose and watery eyes. I know sticking to a healthy diet might help over time, but right now, I need something more immediate. I've heard about treatments like Chemical Peeling and Laser Treatments, but Im not sure which one would be best for me. And I've come across different creams, but dont know which ones to try. Can you help me figure this out?
You can take Montek Lc at bed time but solution would be avoiding allergen and maintain healthy lifestyle,visit Physician for evaluation and healthy lifestyle.

I've been dealing with an issue where I keep getting red rashes and occasionally white shiny patches on my penis. The skin sometimes gets moist, and I notice a thick white substance under the foreskin. Along with this, there's itching and a burning sensation. I've been using candid b cream, and it works for a while, but the problem comes back after about a month. I even tried taking some antibacterial tablets for a week, but nothing seems to make it go away for good. This has been going on for like 5 or 6 years now, and I'm really not sure what to do next. Any advice?
Recurring genital candidiasis (thrush) for 5-6 years indicates a chronic condition. Candid B cream provides temporary relief, but the infection persists. _Consider the Following_ 1. _Antifungal resistance_: The fungus might be resistant to Candid B cream. 2. _Underlying health conditions_: Diabetes, weakened immune system, or other health issues might contribute to the recurring infection. 3. _Poor hygiene or moisture_: Trapped moisture under the foreskin or other skin folds can exacerbate the infection. _Recommended Next Steps_ 1. _Consult a urologist or dermatologist_: Get a proper diagnosis and guidance on treatment. 2. _Culture test_: A culture test can help identify the underlying cause of the infection. 3. _Prescription medication_: Your doctor might prescribe stronger antifungal medication or a combination of medications. 4. _Improve hygiene and moisture management_: Keep the genital area clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal care items.
