It's great to hear that antibiotics have helped shrink the cysts under your arm. In cases of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), antibiotics can indeed reduce the size and inflammation of the lesions. However, whether they go away completely can vary from person to person. Some individuals may experience significant improvement and even remission, while others might have recurring episodes. It's important to continue following your dermatologist's advice and treatment plan. Keeping the affected area clean and avoiding irritants can also help manage symptoms. If you have concerns about recurrence or long-term management, it's a good idea to discuss them with your healthcare provider. They can offer personalized advice and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
