I am also looking, it’s been 15 years and every Dr I go to says it’s a waste of their time. I’m in so much pain and I CANNOT tolerate the I&D. Did you happen to find a Dr?

While specific doctor recommendations aren't available, there are several reliable resources you can use to find an HS specialist in the Nashville area:
• HS Foundation's Specialty Clinics directory
• HS Connect's Dermatologists by State listing
• American Academy of Dermatology's Find a Dermatologist tool
When searching, look specifically for board-certified dermatologists who specialize in complex medical dermatology, as they have the expertise to treat HS effectively. When evaluating potential doctors, consider asking these key questions during your consultation:
• How often do you treat patients with HS?
• What treatment approaches 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 see.
