Hidradenitis Suppurativa "HS"

Dr. Jeanine Cook-Garard learns about Hidradenitis Suppurativa, or HS, which is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that may affect an estimated one in 100 people. It’s believed to be caused by an overactive immune system, which can lead to painful bumps, abscesses, and scarring in areas where skin rubs together such as the underarms, thighs, and groins. She speaks with Dr. Lana Schmidt, a board-certified dermatologist, who will talk about how to recognize HS symptoms, explore the role of the immune system, and discuss a treatment option that is available, and Frank Grimsley, a patient living with HS, who will share his personal experience from the emotional challenges to the importance of finding a dermatologist and the right treatment.
