Understanding Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition that causes painful, boil-like lumps to form under the skin, often in areas where the skin rubs together, such as the armpits, groin, buttocks, and under the breasts.
The Painful Reality of HS
HS is excruciatingly painful. The lumps can rupture and leak pus and blood, creating open wounds that smell bad and can be very distressing. The pain can be so severe that those with HS may find it difficult to sit, walk, or carry out daily activities, especially when the condition affects the buttocks.
What Happens Under the Skin
HS stems from the hair follicle. It begins with a single ingrown hair that becomes inflamed. Over time, this inflammation spreads from one follicle to another, creating tunnels, or sinus tracts, under the skin. These tunnels can connect multiple lumps, making the condition more painful and widespread.
Impact on Black Skin
Black people are the #1 group suffering from HS due to the strong and curly nature of their hair, which is more prone to becoming ingrown. This makes it crucial for Black men and women to seek treatment early and not wait until the condition worsens.
The Spread and Severity
Once you get HS, it can quickly spread from one hair follicle to another, worsening the condition. The interconnected tunnels under the skin make the situation more severe and painful. The discharge from the wounds, including pus and blood, can lead to infections and further complications.
Treatment and Management
There is currently no cure for HS, and no doctor knows how to prevent it completely. However, what we do know is that laser hair removal is highly beneficial in stopping the spread of HS. Laser hair removal works by destroying the hair follicle, preventing the formation of new lumps.
