At my level of this horrid disease I have had more than 25 procedures to cut / remove lumps prior to them becoming infected. I have been told best to just cut them out early as there is no remedy for this other than maintanance. My record in one operation was 16 x Cysts cut out.

Surgery can be an effective long-term treatment option for severe or recurring HS when other treatments haven't provided relief. There are different surgical approaches available, including punch debridement (also called limited unroofing) which removes individual inflamed lesions, or more extensive surgical removal of affected skin areas. In some cases where larger areas are removed, skin grafts might be needed to close the wound. Many myHSteam members have shared positive experiences with surgical treatment. Some report that professionally removed cysts don't return to the same location, which can provide long-term relief. However, healing times can vary significantly - while some members report great results, others mention it may take months for surgical sites to fully heal. It's important to discuss expected recovery times and potential outcomes with your dermatologist when considering surgery as a treatment option.
