Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin
condition that causes painful bumps, abscesses and scarring, most commonly in
areas where skin rubs together – such as the underarms, groin, inner thighs
and under the breasts. These flare-ups can be recurrent and often worsen over
time if left untreated. HS is frequently misunderstood and misdiagnosed, which
can lead to frustration and delayed care. Early diagnosis and specialized
treatment are key to managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
How is it treated?
When you visit a Dermatology Partners office for the treatment of Hidradenitis Suppurativa, you can expect a compassionate, personalized approach to care. One of our board-certified dermatologists will assess the severity of your condition and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Depending on your symptoms, treatment may include topical or oral medications to reduce inflammation and prevent new lesions, drainage procedures for painful abscesses, lifestyle recommendations and advanced therapies for more severe or persistent cases.
In addition, we are proud to offer clinical research opportunities for HS through our Medina office. HS is a major focus in dermatologic research, with numerous ongoing and upcoming studies aimed at improving treatment options and outcomes. Participating in clinical research trials can provide eligible patients access to emerging therapies and contribute to the advancement of care for this challenging condition. Our goal is to help you manage flare-ups, minimize scarring, and feel more confident and comfortable in your skin.
