Book NowWhat is Hidradenitis Suppurativa?
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition that causes painful lumps, abscesses, and tunnels to develop in areas where skin rubs together, such as the underarms, groin, and under the breasts. It is a progressive inflammatory disease that can significantly impact daily life and overall well-being.
Symptoms of HS:
- Painful, pea-sized lumps under the skin
- Recurrent abscesses that may rupture and drain
- Formation of tunnels (sinus tracts) under the skin
- Scarring and thickened skin over time
Causes and Risk Factors
While the exact cause of HS is unknown, it is believed to be linked to an overactive immune response and inflammation affecting the hair follicles. Some factors that may contribute to HS include:
- Genetics (family history of HS)
- Hormonal changes
- Obesity and friction in skin folds
- Smoking and lifestyle factors
Treatment Options
There is no cure for HS, but OneSkin Dermatology offers several treatment options can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life:
- Topical and Oral Medications
- Lifestyle Changes
- In-Office Procedures
- Advanced Biologic Therapies
