If I had a 🪄 , this would probably be the first skin condition I wish away. I see so many, really devastating cases, especially in my skin of color patients, and finding an effective treatment can be so difficult. Hidradenitis Suppurative is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects apocrine gland-bearing areas of the underarms, groin, buttocks and inframammary folds This condition can vary on a spectrum with mild cases presenting as folliculitis to severe cases characterized by boils and abscesses that drain purulent discharge and ultimately lead to sinus tracks and and scarring. HS not only can greatly impact one's quality of life but can significantly influence one's mental wellbeing! Early diagnosis and intervention are key to reducing disease burden and permanent scarring. Do you know of someone with HS? . . . . . #hidradenitissuppurativa #dermatology #derm #skineducation #skinexpert
