What is "hidradenitis suppurativa"?

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin condition that causes small, painful lumps to form under the skin, usually in areas where skin rubs together like the underarms, inner thighs, and under the breasts. These lumps can break open and leak pus, leading to tunnels under the skin and scarring. The exact cause is not known, but it is believed to involve inflammation of hair follicles and sweat glands, possibly linked to genetic and hormonal factors. Treatment options include medications to reduce inflammation and infection, lifestyle changes to manage symptoms, and in some cases, surgery to remove affected tissue. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage the condition and improve quality of life.
