Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition that can cause fluid-filled bumps and tunnels under the skin. While HS can affect people of all races, it is more common in Black and biracial people. Unfortunately, Black and biracial people often face barriers to care that can delay their diagnosis and treatment. These barriers include a lack of health insurance, less access to dermatologists, and a delayed diagnosis as a child or teen. As a result, Black and biracial people with HS are more likely to experience severe complications, such as ER trips, hospitalizations, and surgeries.
