A member asked:
My husband was recently diagnosed with mild stage 2 hidradenitis supperativa and is treated with antibiotics. which antibiotics are most reccommended?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends : Antibiotics should be prescribed based on the location of the infection and what the most likely organisms present at that location. Your doctor should also take into account resistance patterns in the area and allergies. For hidradenitis, staph is often the culprit and should be covered.
