Hidradenitis Suppurativa In Focus

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) can look episodic even when the disease itself is moving in one direction. A flare may settle, but pain, drainage, inflammatory lesions, tunnels, and scarring can accumulate unevenly over time, creating a disconnect between what is visible in the moment and what the disease is becoming. As treatment options expand, so does the opportunity to think differently about the course of intervention. This Experience brings together expert perspectives on recognizing disease trajectory, identifying the point at which current management is no longer enough, and understanding the evolving inflammatory and therapeutic landscape. The goal is to consider what may still be possible to prevent over the long term.
