TMI Question... Vets this one's for you.
Okay Bumps..... You know those massive Mt Saint Helens (with similar eruptions) type that come up overnight and linger for weeks. The ones that come up in the most inconvenient locations and hurt like hell? I was curious if you suffer similar (yes I know even skinny folks get these, but not as often nor as many at one time) did WLS improve this for you?

I don't get many, but did around my hairline where It was more damp from sweat and my skin would bunch if I laid my head down. I also has some on my scalp. Both seem to have improved dramatically vs last summer.
Like.. acne? I did find that my face broke out a lot in the weeks after surgery - I assume because of all the hormonal changes. Thankfully it calmed down and my acne is all back to normal now - which means I get a zit once in a blue moon, but nothing drastic.

My mother was morbidly obese, she ultimately died from complications from obesity at 56 yrs old. She did get really bad boils as well, mainly in her upper thigh area. There were points in time where she did loose quite a bit of weight, and during the those time the boils absolutely lessened a lot. They were not nearly as frequent or bad. So from seeing it with her, I would say yes, it does get better. I think it has a lot to do with less friction and sweating. I know they were extremely painful for her, so I am feeling for you :( Hope it heals quickly!
