Hi all,
I have been suffering with HS since 2012 (got diagnosed in 2015), I have recently had a boil/lump come up on my right armpit which it got to the point where I actually couldn't move my right arm, especially with the work I do. As with the work I do, I had to work with my left arm, which to me is useless.
Is there a way I could convince my doctor to see if there is a way to get rid of it? As in surgery? Because this is one of the things that is bringing me down.
Thanks.
Update: I now have one coming up on my right thigh.
I had surgery to remove an area under my armpit where I consistently had problems. I was told that more could still come back around the same area since it only removes that particular one and isn't a cure. The surgery was painful afterwards since they had to tighten the skin around what they had taken out but I never got another lump in that armpit. That was about 15 years ago? I also previously had surgery on inner thigh/groin. I would recommend surgery to alleviate some of my the pain but as they said, they can't keep taking all my skin away 
I've had some small ones come up, but they've lasted a few hours, but I'm going back to the doctors if a large one comes up again and see if they can refer me for surgery.
