Hidradenitis suppurativa, or HS – also known as acne inversa or Verneuil’s disease – is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that presents with painful pustules in the skin folds. It occurs when hair follicles get trapped in their pores, causing painful, inflamed nodules, skin tunneling, and severe scar formation.

We’re breaking down the history of HS, its pathology and symptoms, staging of severity, causes and epidemiology, and how to treat patients with HS.
