For Stage 3 hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) with severe scarring and open wounds that have persisted for a month, consulting with a plastic surgeon could be a beneficial step. In cases of extensive tissue damage and tunnel formation, procedures like wide excision might be recommended. This involves removing the affected tissue extensively, and sometimes, skin grafting is employed to aid in healing and improve the function and appearance of the skin. Skin grafts involve taking healthy skin from another area of the body to cover the regions where skin has been removed. Always discuss the potential risks and benefits of these surgical options with your healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for your specific condition.
