Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if high-dose radiotherapy can provide sustained disease relief in moderate to severe, treatment resistant Hidradenitis suppurativa patients; could include any of the following: any sex/gender, and those greater then 18 years old. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

Outcome measure 1: Will radiotherapy change the number of inflammatory nodules, abscesses, and draining sinus tracts in the treated axilla compared with the untreated axilla? Outcome measure 2: Will radiotherapy positively change a patient's quality of life, pain levels and symptom burden?

Participants will receive radiotherapy to one axilla affected by hidradenitis suppurativa. The contralateral axilla will not receive radiotherapy and will continue receiving the standard treatment regimen.

Participants will...

* Attend a baseline dermatology skin evaluation, complete multiple surveys and an optional participation in a biopsy
* Attend multiple radiation sessions over 5 weeks
* Attend 2 follow up visits with dermatology for skin evaluation, complete follow up surveys, and an optional biopsy.
