Could It Be HS?
Painful bumps, recurring boils, or flare-ups in sensitive areas
could be signs of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) — a condition
that often goes undiagnosed for years.
What is HS?
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition that causes painful lumps, draining sores, and scarring in areas like the underarms, thighs, groin, and buttocks.It often starts as small bumps that may be mistaken for acne or ingrown hairs. Over time, these bumps can develop into deep, inflamed tunnels under the skin.An estimated 3.3 million Americans may have HS — but many don’t know it yet.
Why Early Diagnosis Matters?
Without treatment, HS can get worse — causing more pain, more flare-ups, and permanent scarring.Early diagnosis gives you access to:
• Fewer flare-ups
• Less long-term damage
• Treatments that work
