Day 4: Diagnosing Hidradenitis Suppurativa w. Dr. Iltefat Hamzavi

[@katherinecornett5728]

I have recently been told I have HS. I am 59 yrs old. I am questioning the diagnosis. I have only one lesion. This lesion never goes away. It will flair up and rupture every couple of months. It is rather small compaired to the pictures and things I find on the internet. Does this sound like an acurate diagnosis?

@kathrinecorrnett5728, give me a message iv got stage 3 hs iv had 18 ind (incision and drainage)

The interesting thing about HS is that is shows up in different stages. Some can experience one lesion that doesn't close and others have multiple sites affected and the draining and scarring never ends. I would definitely get a second opinion and trust your gut. It never hurts to get a second opinion.
