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?

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.
