When dealing with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) scars under the arms, some options to consider include:

- Silicone-based treatments: These come in various forms and can be effective for different parts of the body. Both over-the-counter and prescription options are available. However, avoid if you have a silicone allergy.
- Dermabrasion: This procedure involves numbing the skin and using a wire brush or diamond wheel to remove scarred layers. Note that it may cause acne, infection, or swelling and may not be suitable for darker skin tones.
- Chemical Peels: These use chemicals to remove the top layers of scarred skin. Light peels only remove the superficial skin.
