About Hidradenitis Suppurativa Support
The Hidradenitis Suppurativa Trust is a UK Registered Charity dedicated to the raising of awareness, understanding and 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 and educate the medical profession on the symptoms, treatments and severities of Hidradenitis Suppurativa, and to provide vital funds for the purpose of research into causes, prevention and treatment.
