Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic disease of a type of sweat gland.

HS is a chronic inflammatory condition that usually affects skin folds. It presents as bumps, cysts and abscesses in the armpits, groin, buttocks, under the breast, and the back of the neck. Lesions come and go, and they can be tender, drain “pus-like” material, scar, and/or create tracts under the skin.
