Signs and Symptoms Lead to Diagnosis. Hidradenitis suppurativa may first appear as a pimple, cyst, or boil. As the condition worsens, the bumps grow deep into the skin and may become painful. The bumps can rupture, leaking foul-smelling, blood-tinged pus. As the bumps heal, they can cause scarring of the skin, which shows as tunnel-like tracks.
Generally, the condition is treated with medication and/or surgical care. For mild cases, the physician may recommend antibiotics, compresses, and acne washes. Weight reduction and/or smoking cessation may also be recommended. For acute scenarios, a course of antibiotics may be prescribed.
