Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that affects apocrine gland-bearing skin, typically the axillae, groin, perianal region, buttocks, and inframammary folds. It is characterised by persistent, deep-seated, painful nodules and abscesses that can progress to sinus tract formation, purulent discharge, and scarring.
