The Obvious Causes And Complications Of Hidradenitis Suppurativa

More Infections

Men, this is a huge, huge complication. You're going to get many, many more infections when you've got hidradenitis suppurativa. So many more infections! Men, your skin is more likely to get infections where it's damaged. Yes, you know it: where the lumps have burst! The good news? Infections don't happen during a symptom flare. Just after one! Hold your horses, though, there's more! Many, many men find that the infections don't cause flares either. That's great!

Of course, you remember flares start with a blocked hair follicle. The bumps? They're the inflamed follicles, and they're full of pus. So full! Men, infections happen when the bumps heal. It's because bacteria and sweat get trapped! You've got to get them out to recover. Men, this isn't life-threatening. But don't let your guard down, it's very, very painful. So painful!
