Best Hidradenitis suppurativa Doctors in Kolkata

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a long-term, inflammatory skin condition causing painful abscesses and scarring. This disease’s cause remains unknown, but it’s believed to involve a mix of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Major risk factors include smoking and obesity.

In Kolkata, the high-stress lifestyle often worsens such chronic conditions. Further, the city’s humid climate tends to exacerbate skin diseases, making it essential to seek timely medical intervention. At Apollo Hospitals, some of the best doctors for hidradenitis suppurativa are dedicated to providing effective care, ensuring patients receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

Types/Stages of Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Hidradenitis suppurativa progresses through different stages:

  • Stage 1: Characterised by single or few sores with no sinus tracts or scarring.

  • Stage 2: Involves more than one sore or affected area with localised scarring but limited sinus tracts.

  • Stage 3: The most severe form presents widespread sores with extensive scarring and sinus tracts that span across entire body areas.

Symptoms of Hidradenitis Suppurativa

The signs of this condition can range from mild to severe:

  • Presence of small pitted areas on the skin containing blackheads

  • Painful, red lumps that grow larger and ultimately rupture, leading to abscesses draining fluid and pus

  • Abscesses that heal slowly, recur over time, and often result in scarring and tunnels under the skin

Tests to Diagnose Hidradenitis Suppurativa

There are no specific tests for diagnosing hidradenitis suppurativa. Doctors at Apollo Hospitals employ a mix of clinical evaluations:

  • Medical history: Comprehensive medical history discussion to determine various factors.

  • Physical examination: This is done to examine symptomatic or affected areas.

  • Skin/pus sample testing: This is done in specific cases to determine the proximate cause and type of marks on the skin.

  • Consulting a specialist: When required, doctors may call for consulting with a dermatologist.

Treatment or Surgery Options for hidradenitis suppurativa at Apollo Hospitals in Kolkata

At Apollo Hospitals, personalised treatment plans are offered, guided by the best hidradenitis suppurativa treatment doctors. Treatment options include:

  • Medical Treatments: Use of skin care products such as benzoyl peroxide washes and gentle antiperspirants, oral or topical medications including hormonal and anti-inflammatory drugs, and injectable medications like biologics or corticosteroids.

  • Surgical Treatments: Wide surgical excision of affected areas, drainage of abscesses and sinus tracts, removal of lesions, and surgical management of scarring.

  • Lifestyle Changes: Emphasis on weight reduction for obese patients, advice on quitting smoking to reduce condition severity, and recommendations for wearing loose-fitting clothing to minimise irritation and sweating.

  • Mental Health Support: Recognising the psychological impact of chronic conditions, Apollo Hospitals offers support for managing associated depression or anxiety.offers
