Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a common, shocking and confronting skin disease. HS is personally disabling, painful, mutilating and is difficult to endure. For doctors HS is notoriously difficult to treat. HS has a chronic, relapsing and remitting nature which in some cases can either quickly or slowly progress to more severe disease of the skin, whole body, spirit & soul. However not all cases of HS have this progressive nature. HS also has complex whole-body features & complex psychosocial features. The whole range of HS people experience includes people who live with HS for the whole of their adult lives, and this disease may simply exist for them as part of their individual identity.
