Deroofing before and after photos. Warning: GRAPHIC IMAGES
This is what it looks like after deroofing. This is my 4th deroofing surgery. Yes it hurts. But after it heals the HS is mostly completely gone. The photo had to be taken rather quickly because the wound needs to stay cleaned and dressed with Vaseline and gauze. I'm sharing because I see a lot of people suffering here and wanted to let you know there are options. Again, this does hurt, and it will for quite some time, but it's not much different than dealing with flare pain.
