Hidradenitis Suppurativa: My Story, Symptoms, and Treatments That Help Me

As the owner and lead esthetician at Smoothe & Co, skin health is not just my profession. It is my passion. But there is one skin condition I know on a deeply personal level: hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

HS is not contagious, but it is life-changing, both physically and emotionally.
