I’ve had an incision and drain under general anaesthetic on right axilla, but still having issues with that for the past seven months and never healed, so now waiting to hear from a plastic surgeon who has some expertise in HS as that one is still a problem and now my left is also filling up with multiple nodules

Oh no I’m sorry to hear your feeling that way about your body, I don’t like my armpit earthier, I keep them covered up outside the home because even with arms down you can still see the puffiness and scarring. X

- Another member had a lesion removed above their brow by a plastic surgeon, which also never returned.
- A different member shared that armpit surgery was the best decision for them and it significantly changed their life.
