Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Why It’s Often Misdiagnosed

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is frequently mistaken for “recurrent boils” or infections, but medically it is a chronic inflammatory skin disease involving the hair follicles and immune system.

HS most commonly affects areas where skin rubs together, such as the:
▫️ Underarms
▫️ Groin
▫️ Inner thighs
▫️ Under the breasts
▫️ Buttocks

Patients may notice painful bumps, nodules, or draining lesions that seem to come and go in the same locations.

Why HS is often misdiagnosed early:

Early HS can look very similar to common conditions like cysts, folliculitis, or simple skin infections. Because of this, many patients are treated repeatedly with short courses of antibiotics or drainage procedures before the underlying diagnosis is recognized.

Recognizing the pattern — recurrent lesions in characteristic locations — is key to diagnosis.

The good news:
Our understanding of HS has advanced significantly, and treatment options have expanded.

Modern management may include:
✔️ Targeted anti-inflammatory medications
✔️ Biologic therapies for moderate to severe disease
✔️ Medical and procedural treatments to reduce flares
✔️ Personalized long-term management plans

Early diagnosis can help reduce pain, prevent scarring, and improve quality of life.

At Mid-County Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologists provide evidence-based care for patients in St. Louis and surrounding Missouri communities living with hidradenitis suppurativa.

HS is not simply “recurrent boils.”
Understanding the condition is the first step toward effective treatment.
