Understanding Hidradenitis Suppurativa

What Causes HS?

Hidradenitis Suppurativa is believed to stem from a combination of genetic predisposition, immune system dysfunction, and environmental factors. Blocked hair follicles and sweat glands are thought to trigger inflammation, leading to recurrent lesions.

 

Recognizing Early Signs

Early signs of HS include small, tender lumps under the skin, often mistaken for acne or boils. Over time, these may develop into larger, more painful abscesses that can rupture and leave scars.

 

Hidradenitis Suppurativa in Children

Although more common in adults, children and adolescents can also develop HS. Chronic conditions in children often require specialized care to address the physical and emotional challenges associated with the condition. At Dermestetics Vienna, we offer age-appropriate treatments and guidance for younger patients and their families.
