As the Canadian distributor for Hidrawear products, let’s talk about Hidradenitis Suppurativa: what it is and how to spot it.
Hidradenitis Suppurativa is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease that causes recurrent and painful nodules, boils, abscesses and lesions of the skin. Knowing the signs and symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa is the first step in the pathway to diagnosis. HS is often misdiagnosed and mistaken for similar conditions, such as folliculitis or acne. But there are several traits that make HS unique and distinguishable from other skin conditions. Ask yourself the following questions and if you answer yes to any of them, or experience any of the symptoms of HS, please see a dermatologist.
👉 Do you experience painful, tender lumps and bumps on or under the skin? Pay close attention to areas like the armpits, groin, buttocks, thighs, under the breasts, the ge****ls, neck, chest, arms, and legs.
👉 Have you had lumps that become inflamed, heal and come back at least once in the past six months? Have you noticed a lump, or several lumps come and go in the same area of skin?
👉 Do you have scarring from lumps that have healed?
👉 Does anyone in your family experience similar lumps and bumps?
There are lots of things you can do to limit the impact HS has on your day to day life. Visit HidraWear main website to find more resources to help you on your journey.
