Hidradenitis Suppurativa Treatment in Sellersville & Bucks County

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, often painful condition that causes recurring deep lumps, abscesses, and tunnels under the skin — usually in the armpits, groin, buttocks, and under the breasts. It’s frequently misdiagnosed as ordinary boils or acne, which delays the right care. At Alpha Dermatology, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Daniel I. Shrager and our team recognize HS, stage its severity, and build a plan to reduce flares, pain, and scarring. We see patients at our Sellersville and New Hope offices, serving adults across Bucks County and Montgomery County.

Symptoms We Treat

HS often starts small and worsens over time. We evaluate the full range, including: tender, deep lumps that come and go in the same spots; painful abscesses that may drain fluid or pus; blackhead-like spots that often appear in pairs; sinus tracts (tunnels) connecting lumps under the skin; and scarring or thickened skin from repeated flares — most often in the armpits, groin, inner thighs, buttocks, and under the breasts. If you’ve had recurring “boils” in these areas, it may be HS, and an accurate diagnosis matters.

How We Treat Hidradenitis Suppurativa

There’s no single cure for HS, but the right plan can dramatically reduce flares and pain — and earlier treatment helps prevent permanent scarring. Depending on your stage and severity, your plan may include prescription topical and oral antibiotics, hormonal therapies, anti-inflammatory medications, and advanced biologic medications for moderate to severe disease. We also offer in-office procedures to drain or manage stubborn lesions and coordinate surgical referral when needed, plus practical guidance on wound care, weight, smoking, and triggers that can worsen HS. As a physician-led practice, we focus on long-term control and improving your day-to-day comfort.

HS is frequently overlooked or dismissed, so it matters that you see a dermatologist who recognizes it, takes your pain seriously, and stays with your care over the long term.
