About Hidradenitis Suppurativa Support

Helping to raise awareness, understanding and provide support for the chronic, debilitating skin disorder Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS).

Hidradenitis Suppurativa is estimated to affect only 1% of the UK population, however these figures could in effect be higher due to mis-diagnosis, and those who suffer alone in silence, as the disease dominates the most intimate areas of the sufferer, thus leaving some people too ashamed or embarrassed to go to their doctor.

Our aim is to increase public knowledge on the symptoms, treatments and severities of Hidradenitis Suppurativa.
