    “The International Association of Hidradenitis Suppurativa Network provides help you need while promoting research to find a cure.”
    An estimated 1% of Americans have hidradenitis suppurativa. Many will develop other comorbidities and/or symptoms of mental illness. For over 11+ years, we've provided advocacy, education, support, and community to millions of individuals impacted by this chronic skin disease. We won't stop until there is a cure."
