Compassionate information about hidradenitis suppurativa and how to navigate care.
You are not alone
HS affects many people. It is not your fault, and it is not caused by poor hygiene.
Track with curiosity
Noticing patterns can help you and your clinician have better conversations.
Know when to get help
Some symptoms need prompt medical attention. Trust your instincts.
Could these be early signs of HS?
A gentle guide to symptoms people often discuss with a dermatologist — and how they can resemble other conditions.
Understanding HS
Daily living
Care conversations
Access & insurance
Emotional support
HSight uses "people living with HS" or "people with HS" because you are more than a condition.
We avoid shame-based language like "bad skin," "failure," or "noncompliant." Tracking symptoms is a way to care for yourself, not a measure of worth.
This is not a verified clinician directory. HSight does not rate, recommend, or verify individual doctors or clinics.

HSight is not affiliated with these organizations and does not control their content. Nothing you saved in HSight travels with you when you open one of these links.
HSight uses icons and text only right now. Photographic examples of HS across the full range of skin tones are not included yet.
Adding inclusive, properly sourced educational visuals is on the roadmap for after this beta. Until then, the guides describe what to look for in words.
If something feels urgent — such as fever, quickly spreading redness, severe or quickly worsening pain, fainting, or confusion — contact a clinician or emergency services. HSight cannot assess symptoms.
