I had Kenalog injection on the vulva. It did not hurt too bad and really helped.

Yes, corticosteroid injections are used to treat Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). The most common corticosteroids used include:

- Dexamethasone
- Prednisone
- Prednisolone

These injections help reduce inflammation and manage symptoms. Always follow your physician's guidance when using these treatments.
