Before scheduling with a new dermatologist, check if your insurance requires a referral from your primary care provider. When evaluating a new dermatologist, consider asking these key questions:
- How often do you treat HS patients?
- What treatments do you typically recommend?
- What is your success rate in managing HS symptoms?
- What are the side effects of treatments you suggest?
Remember, it's perfectly acceptable to seek a second opinion if you don't feel comfortable with the first specialist you meet. Focus on finding someone who not only has medical expertise but also shows empathy and truly listens to your concerns.
