In fact, the HS manifests itself with the formation of cysts, nodules, abscesses and painful injuries in the inguinal areas,
axillary, perianal, of the buttocks and under the breast and, less frequently, on the scalp, neck,
back, face and abdomen. The clinical picture is not always easy to recognize and can simulate
Municipalities "sebaceous cysts" or to be exchanged for other pathologies (acne, folliculitis). Hydrosadenitis
suppurative is an unknown pathology, very painful and difficult to diagnose. Right there
difficulty of diagnosis sometimes causes the worsening of patients.
