Hidradenitis Suppurativa Q & A
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, progressive inflammatory skin condition that causes painful, swollen bumps to form deep in the skin, typically where skin rubs together like the armpits or groin. It is caused by blockages in the hair follicles and surrounding sweat glands, which leads to deep inflammation, painful nodules, and sometimes draining tunnels beneath the surface.
Because excellence in managing severe inflammatory skin changes is derived from both education and experience, Dr. Melissa L.F. Knuckles utilizes thorough total-health examinations to evaluate the stage of your condition. She designs a personalized clinical plan using advanced medical therapies—and surgical interventions when necessary—to reduce painful swelling, clear active breakouts, and heal deep skin tunnels.
Absolutely not. It is a major misconception that HS is caused by poor hygiene or that it can be passed to another person. HS is a complex, underlying systemic inflammatory condition. Our practice is entirely dedicated to providing a compassionate, judgment-free environment where we focus on thorough clinical care to help you manage your symptoms safely and cleanly.
We understand how incredibly uneasy, physically uncomfortable, and frustrating living with a chronic condition like hidradenitis suppurativa can make you feel. Our absolute goal is to build a foundation of trust, treating you as a special individual while providing excellent, personalized medical care to ensure your treatment leads to a physically and mentally positive change.
