HS disease stands for Hidradenitis Suppurativa, also known as acne inversa.
It is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects the apocrine sweat glands, primarily found in areas where skin rubs together, such as the armpits, groin, and buttocks.
This condition is characterized by painful, pus-filled bumps and boils that can connect to form tunnels under the skin.
While the exact cause of HS is unknown, it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
It is not contagious and can be managed with various treatment options, including antibiotics, corticosteroids, and surgery.
