Hidradenitis Suppurative, or HS, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes painful, small lumps under the skin, usually where the skin rubs together; underarms, groin, inner thigh, or buttocks.

HS usually begins after puberty and is more common in females, than males. Although there is no known cure, there are treatments, such as medications & surgery to control the disease and prevent complications.

Genetics, hormones, obesity, smoking, & tight clothing all contribute to the hair follicles being inflamed or blocked, which causes HS.
