Hidradenitis Suppurativa Treatment in Beverly Hills
Hidradenitis suppurativa causes painful, recurring lumps and abscesses, most often in the armpits, groin, and under the breasts, and it’s a condition that’s frequently misdiagnosed as recurrent boils or ingrown hairs for years before the correct diagnosis is made. At Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills, our Board-Certified, Cosmetic Fellowship-Trained Dermatologists provide the accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment this chronic condition requires.
Understanding Hidradenitis Suppurativa
HS is a chronic inflammatory condition involving the hair follicles and sweat glands. Key features include:
- Recurrent, painful nodules and abscesses in skin-fold areas
- Progression through stages, from isolated lesions to interconnected tunnels and scarring
- A strong association with obesity, smoking, and a family history of the condition
- Frequent misdiagnosis as recurrent infections or ingrown hairs
Getting the diagnosis right matters enormously, since HS responds to a very different treatment approach than a simple boil.
Treatment Options
Treatment is tailored to the stage and severity of disease. Options include:
- Topical and oral medications to reduce inflammation and prevent flares
- Biologic therapy
- Laser hair removal in affected areas to reduce follicular involvement
- Surgical deroofing for advanced, tunneling disease that hasn’t responded to medical therapy
A Condition That Deserves an Accurate Diagnosis
Many patients with HS spend years being treated for recurrent boils before the underlying condition is identified. Our physicians recognize the pattern, recurring lesions in the same skin-fold locations, often starting around puberty, and build a long-term management plan rather than treating each flare as an isolated event.
Are You a Candidate?
Any patient with recurring, painful lumps in the armpits, groin, or under the breasts should be evaluated for HS, especially if lesions keep returning in the same areas. Schedule a consultation at our Beverly Hills practice for an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan built for the long term.
