Can this condition develop as a result of intertrigo caused by obesity and excessive sweating?

I developed a wound near my tailbone due to intertrigo, located at a spot that stretches when I sit down and stand up. I have no pain, tenderness, or abscess. My doctor told me that if I don’t lose weight, I could develop HS within the next 3–4 years. I would like to benefit from your experience on this matter. I am about 15 kg overweight. The wound was caused by mechanical stress tearing the skin, which had been weakened by intertrigo.
