It's important to note that lymph node swelling from HS is different from lymphoma. However, if you're concerned about swollen lymph nodes, it's important to have them evaluated by your healthcare provider to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. Some people with HS may need to have lymph nodes removed as part of their treatment. Several myHSteam members have undergone this procedure to help manage their condition. While this can be an effective treatment option, it's important to understand that lymph node removal may increase the risk of developing lymphedema (swelling) in the affected area.
