Below: Here is the best information I found for you: The ideal treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) should provide a high likelihood of cure with a low recurrence rate, as well as minimal inconvenience and loss of work time. Medical management is recommended in early stages, whereas surgery should be performed as early as possible after the formation of abscesses, fistulas, scars, and sinus tracts[5] (see Surgical Care). Treatment may include the following: • Local hygiene and ordinary hygiene • Weight reduction in patients who are obese • Use of ordinary soaps and antiseptic and antiperspirant agents (eg, 6.25% aluminum chloride hexahydrate in absolute ethanol) • Application of warm compresses with sodium chloride solution or Burow solution • Wearing of loose-fitting clothing • Laser hair removal • Cessation of cigarette smoking • Medical anti-inflammatory or antiandrogen therapy such as oral or topical antibiotics, intralesional triamcinolone, spironolactone, or finasteride • Biological therapy

No: Unfortunately there is not a cure. The best treatment is antibiotics running them for a very long time to help control the disease
