As a dermatologist, I see the physical and emotional toll #hidradenitissuppurativa can take. This chronic condition is not curable and often misunderstood

1️⃣ The cause is not poor hygiene; it’s a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors.
2️⃣ Treatment options vary, from antibiotics to surgical procedures, tailored to each individual.
3️⃣ Early diagnosis and management are key to minimizing symptoms and flare-ups.

If you or someone you know is dealing with hidradenitis suppurativa, know that you’re not alone and treatment options are available.

Hidradenitis Suppurative - Chronic inflammatory skin disorder ! #hs #shorts

Hidradenitis suppurativa
is a condition that causes small, painful lumps to form under the skin. The lumps usually develop in areas where your skin rubs together, such as the armpits, groin, buttocks and breasts. The lumps heal slowly, recur, and can lead to tunnels under the skin and scarring.
Hidradenitis suppurativa tends to start after puberty. It can persist for many years and worsen over time, with serious effects on your daily life and emotional well-being. Combined medical and surgical therapy can help manage the disease and prevent complications.
