Your Body Is Speaking
It begins with a nodule beneath the skin. Usually where skin meets skin — in the armpits, in the groin, under the breasts. A dull pressure that condenses into a throbbing pain. The nodules grow, become inflamed, fill with pus, rupture, leave scars — and return. Again and again. Medically, hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammation of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. It affects the most intimate zones of the body — the places that lie hidden, that no one sees.
