A Dermatologist Explains: Who Should Be on Your HS Care Team

Managing hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) may take more than visits to your dermatologist. From hormonal changes and mental health to intimacy and relationships, HS can affect several areas of your life, and getting the right support can make a difference.

In this Expert Explains video, dermatologist Dr. DiAnne Davis explains why people with HS may benefit from building a broader care team that can include a dermatologist, OB-GYN, mental health professional, and sexual health expert. She also shares why bringing your partner into conversations about your care can help them better understand HS and create a stronger support system at home.
