Hidradenitis suppurativa

HS

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition characterized by painful nodules, abscesses, and sinus tract formation, typically occurring in areas where skin rubs together—such as the armpits, groin, buttocks, and under the breasts. It results from inflammation and blockage of hair follicles, leading to recurrent infections and scarring. The disease often follows a relapsing course and can significantly impact quality of life due to pain, drainage, and odor. Risk factors include obesity, smoking, and family history. Treatment may involve topical or oral antibiotics, hormonal therapy, biologics like adalimumab, and sometimes surgical removal of affected tissue.
