Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory condition affecting the skin. It generally occurs in the skin folds of the armpits or groin. The condition occurs when the immune system attacks the sweat glands, causing the pores to become clogged and trapping bacteria. This results in a constant cycle of inflammation, infection, and new tunnels under the skin. Currently, there are more options available to treat HS and improve quality of life.
