Can Hidradenitis Suppurativa Be Cured?
Hello doctor, I have query regarding Hidradenitis Suppurativa. I have been informed by my doctor I have this thing under my armpit. And he suggested to microdox or augmentin duo 625. As it is at initial phase which medicine would be better? Also can something else be done to stop it at early stage? I am 22 years old. Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Hydradenitis Suppurativa is a chronic long-term skin disorder which can remain for many years or even lifelong. When the disease flares up you find painful pea-sized to marble-sized lumps in areas especially in the areas of maximum friction. Start oral and topical antibiotics for treatment. Augmentin duo would be prefered.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Smruti Pevekar
