How do I lighten the scars from hidradenitis suppurativa or get rid of them altogether? (Photo)

angifranceFeb 28, 2019
I have deep scarring from hydrenious supperativia on my buttox. For years I didn't know what it was and finally got diagnosed with HS. Doctor prescribed some ointments to prevent further breakouts but nothing to lighten the scars or discoloration that is already there. Help?

Piercing scars on the nose and face can be improved with a combination of subcision and TCA Cross to reduce the indentation. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

Might recommend  dermatology use of scar removal laser. But you are the one whom had the silicone injected and thus the post injection sequalae. Further surgery will NOT imprive in my RS over the internet opinion.
