I cannot find a dermatologist with enough experience with this disease in my area to help me. My outbreaks are contained to my groin area. I am young (25), about 20 pounds overweight, but I am dieting and exercising to lose that. I have had the condition since I was 18, and it just gets worse. I have tried laser hair removal, multiple antibiotic, birth control and ibuprofen therapies. They are all a temporary fix; then it comes back full force. I am meeting with a dermatologist who practices with a plastic surgeon to look at possible surgery to remove the glands. What questions do I need to ask, and what should I be prepared for? I had one doctor tell me it is possible this surgery can affect my fertility. Is that true? I thank you so much for your time and consideration.</description><pubDate>Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:13:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>A look at the most common cancers</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/01/29/common.cancers/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/01/29/common.cancers/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>There are around 200 known types of cancers.

That's what some dermatologists claim you're doing when you apply shiny lip gloss and go into the sun. The consequence may be an increased risk of skin cancer on your lips. Skin cancer of the lips accounts for 10 percent of all skin cancer cases, and 3,500 new cases of skin cancer of the lips are diagnosed each year.</description><pubDate>Mon, 22 Dec 2008 17:54:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>LeAnn Rimes Recalls 'Scaly Girl' Kid Taunts</title><link>http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20247941,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnn</link><guid>http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20247941,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnn</guid><description>Others "didn't want to hang out with me or touch me," the singer says of her psoriasis</description><pubDate>Mon, 22 Dec 2008 17:52:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Take it easy on your skin</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/12/04/rs.go.easy.on.skin/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/12/04/rs.go.easy.on.skin/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Overwashing, overapplying, and product overkill won't improve your skin.
