Hidradenitis Suppurative (HS), otherwise known as acne inversa, is a chronic (long term) disease affecting the apocrine sweat glands. It is an inflammatory skin condition caused by the malfunction in the body’s immune system resulting in scarring and recurrent infections of the apocrine sweat glands. This can present as small areas of infection like pimples or boils that can progress to abscess (pockets of infection) which eventually open and start drainage resulting in scarring. Unfortunately it affects a large number of people but is not well known in the general medical community. And thus proper treatment is often delayed. Once proper treatment is performed like that by Dr. Som and his expert team, the cure rate is over 90%. To learn more click on the link below
