My mom has been living with neurofibromatosis type 1 for over a decade. She had plastic surgery on her face, but only a few moles could be removed the rest are too small or deep. Where should I take her for proper surgery or any other effective treatment options?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For proper management of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), especially with regard to facial neurofibromas, your mom should seek care from a multidisciplinary team, including a geneticist, dermatologist, and potentially a plastic surgeon specializing in NF1. Other treatment options may include medication and radiation therapy. A neurofibroma clinic or a hospital with a strong NF1 program would be ideal.

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.
