Is it medically true that HS has no cure
I am a 26–27 year old female diagnosed with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (underarm).
I was told that this condition is not permanently curable and can only be managed.
I want to confirm:
1. Is it medically true that HS has no permanent cure?
2. Can it go into long-term remission with proper treatment?
3. I was advised weight loss and laser hair removal.
– How is weight loss possible when sweating triggers flare-ups, and exercise causes sweating?
4. Are there patients who remain flare-free for long periods and live normally?
5. Is there any chance of a permanent or near-permanent solution, especially when planning marriage next year?
