Any cure on Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)?

There is as yet no definitive, consistently effective treatment, and no cure. Abscesses can be drained, and in severe cases the painful lumps and sinus tracts can be surgically removed. Radiation therapy has proved helpful for some people. Pain medications, and sometimes antibiotics, can also help.

Along with what NurseAnnie said, there are studies going on to test the effectiveness of disease-modifying medications often used for disorders like rheumatoid arthritis. Remicade and Enbrel are being tested as possible treatments for HS
