Learn how to prevent or get rid of hidradenitis suppurative scars with treatments like laser hair removal and corticosteroids, especially if you have dark skin and are prone to hyperpigmentation or keloids.
If you have hidradenitis suppurativa , then you know the lumps, abscesses, and fluid-filled bumps it can cause are a nightmare to deal with. And the aftermath is often worse. Because HS is a chronic inflammatory skin condition, the deep scars it can leave behind are no joke—you might find it hard to move easily, wear certain types of clothes, or just live a pain-free life.1 There’s an added layer of complexity if you’re a person of color. Black women, in particular, have a higher risk of HS.
Instead, cover your HS lesions with dressings and change those at least once or twice per day, depending on the amount of drainage, she says. Dr. Kenkare recommends Telfa Non-Adherent Dressing, which is made with a cotton fabric that soaks up fluid and isn’t painful to remove. “This type of dressing can also help reduce friction that comes along with movement,” she says. “Friction can worsen hidradenitis and is one of the reasons that we recommend cotton clothing.
