Find Care & Support

Example data

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.

Words that matter

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.

Resources from other organizations
A short list of public educational and support pages. Each one opens an external website with its own privacy practices.

This is not a verified clinician directory. HSight does not rate, recommend, or verify individual doctors or clinics.

  • Patient-facing education and support information about hidradenitis suppurativa.

  • Dermatologist-written overview of symptoms, causes, and treatment options.

  • Peer support groups and community events for people living with HS.

  • Plain-language condition summary with references and patient organization links.

  • Government health-library summary written for the general public.

  • UK public health service guidance on symptoms and seeking care.

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.

About the pictures in HSight

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.

HSight is a personal note-keeping and appointment-preparation tool. It does not assess, diagnose, or treat anything, and it does not replace care from a clinician.

HSight Public Beta — an early-stage tool for people living with HS that continues to improve through community feedback. What you record stays in this browser on this device; HSight does not receive it. Visits to the public website may be counted in aggregate only.
