Hidradenitis suppurativa symptoms can be hard to recognize. If you regularly get boils, cysts, or abscesses, you’re going to want to read this.
It could happen to anyone. You wake up with a surprise skin lump, whether it’s a painful boil, ingrown hair, or an acne undergrounder that won’t seem to rise to the surface. Sometimes, though, these types of bumps are more serious than your average annoying pimple. They can be the first symptoms of an inflammatory skin condition called hidradenitis suppurativa . HS was once considered rare, but it’s actually pretty common. About 1 to 2% of the population has it, per the HS Foundation.
One 2022 study found that Black people had about five years from symptoms to diagnosis compared with three years for those who were white. Is it HS or something else? If even the pros get it wrong, how can you tell when your skin symptoms might be HS? Some basic awareness can go a long way, Lisa Akintilo, MD, an assistant professor of dermatology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, tells SELF.
