    My friend has HS, and it is under control with diet and lifestyle, will chemical peels help with scarring?

      Hi Paula, great question – we have seen peels help to decrease scarring over time. We generally find that mandelic acid peels are well-tolerated. The ManukaMed honey pads have been helpful for reducing the hypertrophic (raised), rope-like scarring. Here is a link where you can find more information about the ManukaMed bandages and other skin care options for HS https://www.helpforhs.com/skin-care/? Hope this helps! Best, ~ Dr. E

          It’s quite possible! Peels tend to have similar mechanisms. In the case of HS, salicylic acid may help to soften the keratin (hair) material that is responsible for clogging the follicle. Best of luck to you!
