Would lazer hair removal or a breast lift help with hidradenitis suppurativa? (Photo)

October 14, 2015
Asked By:kennaleeann in Raleigh, NC

I've had this for about 7 years so far. Maybe more. I've visited a dermatologist and she didn't take it very seriously and didn't seem to care so I have up on her. It started out just on the inner buttcheeks & on my panty line, upper thigh & occasionally the top of my pelvis. Over the past few years it started under my breasts. I'm a 34DDD. The hurt a lot & pop on their own. They leave behind thin scar tissue. Would a breast lift help? Since the skin won't touch as much? Help please! Thanks.
