Care tailored to you
The Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinic offers multispecialty care for people with hidradenitis suppurativa. You'll be evaluated by a dermatologist with expertise in this complex condition that can affect people in widely variable ways. You'll find a care team that treats you with compassion and develops a treatment plan with you to meet your specific needs and considers possible side effects of each treatment option.
You may have other appointments arranged to talk about other factors affecting your condition, such as smoking and weight management. If you have extensive skin involvement, you might consult with a dermatologic surgeon or a plastic surgeon with expertise in the surgical management of this condition.
The ongoing, persistent nature of this condition can be a physical and emotional burden. If you wish, talk with your doctor or other healthcare professional about a referral to a mental health professional, a dietitian or a support group.
Research
Mayo Clinic physician-scientists and other researchers study how to improve the diagnosis, treatment and outcomes for people with hidradenitis suppurativa. Ask your healthcare professional whether you might be eligible for a clinical trial.
