Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a long-term, inflammatory, recurrent, skin condition. It causes painful inflamed nodules, or abscesses on the skin, around sweat glands, usually located in the armpits, groin, stomach and/or buttocks.

HS usually starts after puberty, most commonly affecting people in their 20s or 30s, and impacts more women than men.
