Tampa dermatologist Dr. Seth Forman has always been one of the leaders of the pack when it comes to groundbreaking medical treatment for skin conditions. For those living with hidradenitis suppurativa, Forman has effective solutions for the painful, unsightly condition.
At the Forman Dermatology and Skin Cancer Institute, the Tampa dermatologist usually treats hidradenitis suppurativa with antibiotics over a long period of time and has even performed surgery. Forman has also turned to more aggressive therapies, such as TNF-alpha inhibitors.
“TNF-alpha inhibitors, like Humira, have been proven to be effective against chronic inflammatory diseases,” says the Tampa dermatologist. “Hidradenitis suppurativa is often treated as a cyst or an infection, but it is an inflammatory condition.”
Forman explains that hidradenitis suppurativa occurs deep in the skin, mostly around oil glands and hair follicles. The skin condition, which is considered a severe form of acne, appears in areas such as the groin and armpits, which are also where main sweat glands are located. The skin condition most often appears after puberty and can last for years.
“Hidradenitis suppurativa tends to get worse over time,” says the Tampa dermatologist. “The key to managing symptoms and preventing new spots is early diagnosis and treatment.”
