Looking for a skilled surgeon who specializes in underarm surgery for hidradenitis suppurativa. Wondering if laser treatment is a good option for this condition or if surgery would be better. What are the pros and cons of each?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For hidradenitis suppurativa in the underarm area, both laser treatment and surgery can be options, but they have different approaches and outcomes. Laser hair removal, specifically with an alexandrite laser, has shown promise in reducing symptoms and preventing new lesions. Surgery, such as radical excision or laser excision followed by skin grafting, is considered for severe or persistent cases and can offer more definitive results.

I'm planning to get a hair transplant but I live alone is it safe to go through the surgery by myself or should I arrange for someone to be there with me? I'm a bit worried about managing right after the procedure since I won't have help at home
You can manage alone, but having someone for the first 24–48 hours helps, especially for medications, food, and support. Arrange minimal chores post-op to avoid discomfort.
