Description

Welcome to the Maryland Hidradenitis Suppurativa Support group

This group was created for and dedicated to providing awareness, information, and support to Marylanders suffering from HS. The group was founded in 2004 by Clara Van Epps and we thank her for her profound efforts.

YOU ARE NO LONGER ALONE!

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), also known as 'Acne Inversa', is a physically, psychologically, and socially disabling disease affecting inverse areas of the body (those places where there is skin-to-skin contact - armpits, groin, breasts, etc.), and where apocrine glands and hair follicles are found. It is non-contagious and recurrent; typically manifesting as a progression from single boil-like, pus-filled abscesses, or hard sebaceous lumps, to painful, deep-seated, often inflamed clusters of lesions with chronic seepage (suppuration --- hence the name) involving significant scarring.

There is an Hidradenitis hotline if you need to talk to someone right away, the number is..1-928-279-0833. The hotline is answered by Tammie. Tammie usually answers and calls you back so that you incur little or no expense or if she is unavailable to answer the call feel free to leave a message and she will get back to you ASAP!
