A member asked:
Can radiation therapy be done for hidradenitis suppurativa? how safe is it in the long run?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radiation is harmful: Using Radiation for benign conditions is not advised or used any longer(It was used in the past when we did not know that radiation can cause cancer). The treatment for your medical condition is best done by an experienced doctor who has treated this condition before...most doctors have not had this experience. But it is treatable.
