I have just found out I have hidradenitis suppurativa. I'm 21 and I have some scars from previous abscesses.

Asked By:mirmir21 in Dallas, TX

I'm looking for a treatment to prevent further scars and aid the pain. When I have a break out it usually only one in my lower groin area, and one at a time. I'm feeling hopeless at this point seeing how bad it can get.
