When I Get a Breast Reduction Would the Surgeon Be Able to Remove the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Scarring? (photo)

March 11, 2013
Asked By:philo1 in Atlanta, GA

I am 20 and I am planning on getting a breast reduction. I also have hidradenitis suppurativa which has caused major pain primarily on my breast. I also have excessive scarring mainly under and on the side of my left breast. What are some good ways to get rid of the scarring in the mean time? My dermatologist has only prescribed doxycycline hyclate 100mg, would retin-a also be a good option?
