Here are important questions to ask:
About Your Treatment Plan:
* What treatment options are available for stage 3 HS?
* Which treatments would work best for lesions in my armpits and groin area?
* How long before I might see improvement?
* What are the potential side effects of recommended treatments?
About Managing Symptoms:
* How can I manage pain during flare-ups?
* What's the best way to care for draining wounds?
* Are there specific bandaging techniques for underarm lesions?
* How can I reduce the frequency of flare-ups?
About Stress and Triggers:
* Since stress seems to trigger your flares, ask about stress management strategies
* What other triggers should you watch for?
About Daily Life:
* How can you manage symptoms that make walking or sitting difficult?
* Are there clothing choices that might help reduce friction?
Stage 3 HS involves multiple lesions with tunneling and scarring across larger areas, so your dermatologist should create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific situation. Don't hesitate to be honest about how much this is affecting your life—that information helps them provide better care.
