"My hidradenitis has swollen considerably and burst yesterday. What should I do?"

If your hydradenitis has swollen significantly and burst, it is important to keep the area clean by washing it with water and soap, then covering it with a bandage. Avoid changing the bandage more than once a day unless it gets wet or dirty. Keep an eye on any increase in redness, swelling, or pain. If these symptoms worsen, it would be best to see a doctor for further evaluation.
