Hi.
As per your case history you are having idiopathic palmoplantar hidradenitis, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid spicy foods and extra salt in your diet.
2. Also avoid stress as it may worsen the condition.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Apply a mild topical steroid cream like mometasone cream twice daily on affected skin.
5. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral colchicine and oral steroids taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
