There is no cure for hidradenitis suppurativa and treatment must be adapted to each individual patient. Several studies have been published since 2004 on the use of photodynamic therapy to treat hidradenitis suppurativa. The use of superficial or interstitial illumination with 5-Amino-Levulinic Acid (5-ALA) or methylene blue (MB) have been proposed. Injecting 5-ALA or MB followed by illumination with a fiber optic sensor placed inside the lesion appears to be a better method of treating these thick lesions.Show less >
