WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP TO TREATING HS?
If you think you have hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) but haven’t been diagnosed, it might be time for you to make an appointment with a dermatologist.
WHY A DERMATOLOGIST?
A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, including HS.
It’s important to see a dermatologist because HS is a skin disease that is not well known. So, chances are a dermatologist would probably have more experience treating patients with HS than another medical doctor.
