A member asked:
In men, does hidradenitis suppurativa come back after removing the first ever armpit lump surgically (no redness or blackness)? the lump is the size of a marble and currently painful to touch.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic disease: Unfortunately hidradenitis super diva is a chronic disease and the rate of success of surgery is not the best. The skin forms abnormal tunnels and scars That go deep and allow the lesions to reproduce. New lesions are always forming on the surrounding areas because the condition is chronic and triggered by hormones. The new biological monoclonal meds. are very successful.Go to your DERMATOLOGIST
