Providing Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) Treatment to individuals located in Chatham-Kent and beyond, we can offer expert care to help manage and alleviate the symptoms of this chronic skin condition. Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) causes painful bumps, abscesses, and tunnels under the skin, often in areas like the armpits, groin, buttocks, and under the breasts. At Chatham Skin Clinic, we focus on keeping the affected areas clean and free from irritation, advising patients to avoid picking or squeezing the bumps. In addition to proper skin care, we utilize topical antibiotics to reduce infection and inflammation, helping to control flare-ups.
For more advanced cases of Hidradenitis Suppurativa, we offer intralesional steroid injections to target and reduce inflammation directly in the affected areas. Oral antibiotics may also be prescribed to manage bacterial growth and prevent new flare-ups. We also offer deroofing to treat appropriate abscess/cyst in patients with Hurley stage 1 (mild) or 2 (moderate) lesions at fixed locations.
Zinc supplements are recommended to support overall skin health and immune function. Our goal is to provide comprehensive, personalized care to help you manage Hidradenitis Suppurativa and improve your skin’s appearance and comfort.
