The surgery to get is the one that removes all of the affected tissue and allows for the quickest healed recovery. The surgeon best equipped to do it is a plastic surgeon. The use of a CO2 laser adds little or nothing to the process because you still have to remove the tissue, send the specimen to pathology and close the wound. If you destroy the specimen with a laser you are left with something the pathologist cannot examine.aaronstonemdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06538407272030369058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852493992319144566.post-33847847003490436652018-05-17T11:31:31.885-07:002018-05-17T11:31:31.885-07:00Hello, thank you for answering our questions . I&#...Hello, thank you for answering our questions . I'm 31 & a female . I think I've had hs for about 3 years now. I haven't been diagnosed by a doctor yet but I pretty much diagnosed myself after doing a ton of research online . It started when I was pregnant with my now 2 1/2 year old. At first there was a strain in my right arm when I reached my arm out . Then the bump formed . It darined slowly started to form a tract then healed . I haven't had a problem in the right arm pit since. But the left armpit I believe is in stage 2. I've seen pictures and it looks like stage two . There is a for sure a tract which had several small pin size holes that slowly drain smelly puss. Very very very painful at times it can be hard to move the arm all together . I seen a few doctors that automatically said they were just boils or mersa without testing anything . I even swabbed it myself when I first was seen early in my pregnancy but they didn't test it and automatically said it was mersa. ( think that's how you spell it ) so I never received any treatment or antibiotics for this condition ever . I went to the er about a year ago and they just wanted to cut it open but couldn't because the cyst was too hard and again passed it off as mersa . So I got dicouraged and started doing my own research and have been using natural remedies. Turmeric vitamin c & tea tree oil seem to help keep them down a lot . also im trying to wat healthier as a study showed brewers yeast may be a big contributing factor hs . I've read up on the whole 30 diet and though about trying it to see if that eliminates this horrible hs. Not sure what your thoughts are on lifestyle changes such a healthy eating and its effects if any. The turmeric and tea tree oil realky help some days i dont even feel the effects of hs . i also use witch hazel to help clean the area But I know it's not a cure and the last few weeks it's not really helping. the tract under my left arm is inflammed it drained on its own a little after I put scolding hot water on it, only when I put scolding hot water for two days do they begin to drain . My question is how do I know which surgery to get ? I know I probably need the surgery. Even tho I'm scared I will do it if it will help . there is a tract and it's active ...flair up , it's draining slowly. What do you suggest I do next ... call a dermatologist or a plastic sergon? co2 surgery or no ? Which surgery is the most effective with the conditions i just described ? this might be the scariest thing i encounter besides having kids but if you think it will work I trust your experience. Thank you so much for your time .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852493992319144566.post-62561215115004407652018-05-13T11:19:43.732-07:002018-05-13T11:19:43.732-07:00Hi Dr Stone, at first thanks for ur reply.

The most common complication of HS surgery is separation of the suture lines. As long as the excision was adequate these heal with time. I am more concerned that you are seeing nurses only instead of your surgeon. That is not the norm in my practice.aaronstonemdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06538407272030369058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852493992319144566.post-21274928084716979012018-05-02T05:20:05.844-07:002018-05-02T05:20:05.844-07:00Hi Dr Stone, I had a HS surgery on my right armpit...Hi Dr Stone, I had a HS surgery on my right armpit. After a week when my stitches took out that looks fine. Nurse gave me some dressing to changed everyday. It was fine up to 11 days of my surgery but after that I found my wound was opening. And drain smelly fluid types something. I went to the hospital where I had surgery Nurse seen the wound and said because of moist it was open and wound takes time to heal 2 to 3 weeks. So she puts again dressing and said not to open 2days. After 2 days when I went to see my GP nurse I saw few of my stitches area getting open wider and I can see the pink skin. And also that area draining pus now. My question is stitches was fine after taking out the bandages. But now few place of stitches why looks pinkies. Is that normal? Now I am using small dressing just under my wound. Other side of stitches are leave it open my GP nurse told me to do that. Am I doing right??

You can get topical antibiotics over the counter but these are of limited use in active infections other than folliculitis. I don't believe topical antibiotics are of much use in HS. I can understand your reluctance to undergo surgery as there are no guarantees and I assume you meant HS instead of MS. However, I think most patients that have definitive surgery are glad that they made that choice. Your best bet would be to speak to people that had/have your degree and location of HS and have had or decided to forgo surgery. I think the relief that comes with being disease free for some years is well worth the effort.aaronstonemdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06538407272030369058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852493992319144566.post-87709043468003110492018-03-05T15:13:32.192-08:002018-03-05T15:13:32.192-08:00Are there antiobiotcs you can buy without a prescr...Are there antiobiotcs you can buy without a prescription that may work?

Would it be worth it to have hyaluronidase injected to see about removing the voluma. I had about 2mls injected for malar bag on one side and 1ml on other side. the doctor said I needed more after having 1/2 ml done which didn't show any improvement. So thinking I got over filled and misplaced Filler cause the side I had the 2mls has more of the blister looking. I can't seem to find anyone in Minnesota to help with these malar bags.

After a year and a half it should all be gone by now so I do not know why you currently have the "blister" or if the juvederm contributed to the problem.
