Diagnosis/Treatments

I’m sure this is something that should be common sense, but I’m just not too sure how I’m supposed to go about getting a confirmed diagnosis that’ll lead to treatment for my HS.
I have struggled with HS for at least 7 years now. I have had to have 2 abscesses drained, and both times the doctors said they’re certain it is HS but has never followed through with referrals or anything to do about it. I’m currently struggling with another large abscess in my underarm and don’t want to go to another urgent care for them to drain it and send me on my way.

Should I get in contact with a dermatologist? Get the abscess drained at urgent care? I would really like some form of treatment if that even exists.

And if anyone does have any information regarding what treatment looks like please let me know as well. Thank you all!
