It's understandable to feel frustrated if it seems like surgery is frequently recommended for conditions like hidradenitis suppurativa. Often, doctors consider surgery when other treatments haven't provided sufficient relief, or if the condition is significantly impacting the patient's quality of life. It's not typically about financial gain; rather, the goal is to alleviate severe symptoms that are not responding to other forms of treatment. Always feel free to discuss all your treatment options and concerns with your healthcare provider to understand the rationale behind their recommendations.

Find a doctor in this list. Someone who will work with you and truly understands the disease. Let them lead in you what to do. I have had CO2 laser surgery by Dr Resnik and Dr Hazen. Most effective for stage 3/4. They treat all levels of the condition. And will be honest and upfront with you about HS.

Yes, I did. I kept them on the area until all the infection was out and only blood remained. It’s a painless way to get the infection out.
