Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition characterized by painful lumps, abscesses, and recurrent boil-like nodules, typically in areas where skin rubs together — such as the underarms, groin, and buttocks. These lesions can rupture, leak fluid, and form tunnels under the skin (sinus tracts), often resulting in scarring.
Our multidisciplinary treatment approach is focused on reducing inflammation, preventing flare-ups, managing pain, and restoring skin health. Depending on severity, we offer medical therapy, lifestyle support, and minor surgical or laser procedures to provide lasting relief.
We use clinical assessment and grading tools to tailor treatment based on HS stage and symptoms.
Includes antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, or hormonal therapy to control flares and reduce lesion formation.
For persistent nodules or tunnels, we offer incision & drainage, deroofing, or laser hair removal to improve healing.
Proper care helps heal open lesions, prevent infection, and reduce scarring or pigmentation changes.
We guide patients on skincare, clothing, hygiene, and diet changes to reduce friction and bacterial growth.
Our team provides continued monitoring, emotional support, and treatment adjustment to manage this lifelong condition.
HS is thought to be caused by inflammation of hair follicles, influenced by genetics, hormones, and lifestyle factors. It’s not due to poor hygiene.
There is no known cure, but symptoms can be effectively controlled and flare-ups reduced with proper treatment and care.
Not always. Surgery is considered for severe or persistent cases where medical treatment is not enough. Early-stage HS is often treated medically.
No, HS is not an infection and cannot be spread through contact.
Maintain a healthy weight, avoid tight clothing, manage sweating, quit smoking, and follow prescribed medications or skincare routines.
Since the procedure is precise and minimally invasive, the chances of infection are significantly lower.
