Hello Doctor,
I am 55 years old, unemployed, and suffering from severe hidradenitis suppurativa. At the moment, it's extremely critical, and I have a very painful anal infection that has spread all around my testicles. I am unable to walk properly due to the pain, and the area is also producing a very bad odor. I don't know where to go for help, and I need urgent assistance. Please advise on what steps I should take.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Given the severity of your condition, I would strongly suggest that you consult a dermatologist urgently for a thorough physical examination. It's possible that you may require antibiotics to address any secondary infection. Additionally, I recommend discussing the potential use of adalimumab with your dermatologist, as it can be an effective treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa in severe cases. Please seek medical attention as soon as possible for the best course of treatment.
Thanks
