What is Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)?

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition that causes painful lumps, boils, and abscesses under the skin. It commonly affects areas where skin rubs together, such as the underarms, groin, buttocks, and under the breasts. These lumps can become inflamed, may burst, and sometimes lead to scarring and tunnels under the skin (sinus tracts). HS is not contagious, but it can significantly impact quality of life if not treated early.

Common Symptoms of Hidradenitis Suppurativa:

• Painful, deep-seated nodules or lumps
• Recurrent boils or abscesses
• Pus discharge with odor
• Skin scarring and thickening
• Formation of sinus tracts (tunnels under the skin)

Treatments for Hidradenitis Suppurativa:

Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent complications. Treatment options include:

• Medical Treatments
