  While stage 1 HS can cause multiple abscesses, theyre typically not as widespread as in later stages. […] Left untreated, stage 1 HS will likely develop into stage 2. […] Hurley stage 2 can cause more moderate abscesses that may appear alone or be more separated. The boils that originally developed under your skin can become further irritated and break open, producing pus. […] You may have some tracts, or narrow tunnels, under the skin where abscesses are connected. You may also experience scarring. […] Hurley stage 3 is the most severe form of HS. Its characterized by a more broad and widespread development of HS lesions, including tract formations. Pain and scarring are also expected in this stage. […] Due to this widespread and recurring nature, stage 3 can be difficult to treat. […] HS can progress to cause the development of more abscesses. Tracts may also form beneath the skin, connecting abscesses. The condition can become severely painful in later stages.

  Hurley stage II is moderate HS, which causes symptoms such as: Recurring lumps and pus-filled abscesses, Lumps that appear in more than one part of the body, Abscesses that may break open and form a scar when they heal, Repeated abscesses and scarring on the same part of your skin, which can cause sinus tracts. […] Hurley stage III is severe HS, which is challenging to treat. In this stage, lesions are quite widespread, with multiple interconnected sinus tracts. These symptoms may also cause: Painful lumps that are spread across the body, Blackhead-like spots that appear in pairs, Permanent scarring, Difficulty moving if lesions are causing too much pain. […] It’s worth noting that despite these treatments, HS in this stage can still come back. Getting early treatment for HS is key, as treatments in previous stages can improve symptoms and quality of life significantly.

  In stage 1, one or more nodules or lesions appear under the skin, without scarring or tunnels (sinus tracts). These lesions may gradually heal and eventually go away. But in some people, they come back and can get worse over time potentially progressing to stage 2. […] In stage 2, one or more recurring nodules appear under the skin and lead to scarring or tunnels (sinus tracts). HS sores that are connected by tunnels tend to heal slowly, if at all, and also drain blood and pus. […] In stage 3, multiple interconnected lesions appear under the skin, covering or nearly covering an area (sinus tracts). Just as in stage 2, these abscesses tend to drain blood and pus, but more so in this stage. The pain from HS sores in stage 3 can be debilitating. […] Treating HS in stage 3 can be challenging. If other treatments arent working, your doctor may recommend surgically removing an area of skin. If a large enough area of skin is removed, you may need a skin graft to help close the wound. While surgical treatment tends to prevent HS sores from coming back in the affected area, you may still get sores in other areas of your body.

  Are you struggling with recurrent painful skin lumps or boils in sensitive areas? You may be experiencing symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa, also known as acne inversa. Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes deep, painful lumps and boils to develop on the body. As these lesions heal, new spots develop and can eventually lead to the formation of firm scars. When multiple large lumps form in the same area, they sometimes connect beneath the skin, forming skin tunnels. […] HS affects hair follicles and associated oil and sweat glands. The hair follicles become thickened and plugged, leading to rupture and inflammation. […] As the name acne inversa suggests, the symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa can look like those of acne. But they occur in different areas and can be quite painful. Often starting in one’s 20s and 30s, symptoms usually develop on areas of skin that touch or rub together, such as the armpits (the most common site), groin, genitals, upper thighs, breasts, and buttocks. Symptoms include: deep, painful, inflamed lumps known as nodules […] swollen pus-filled bumps, known as abscesses […] draining skin tunnels, known as sinus tracts […] blackheads, often seen in pairs, known as comedones […] scarring […] darkened areas of skin, known as hyperpigmentation […] odor.

  https://www.uptodate.com/contents/hidradenitis-suppurativa-pathogenesis-clinical-features-and-diagnosis

  Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS; from the Greek hidros = sweat, and aden = glands) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that is also known as acne inversa and, historically, as Verneuil’s disease. The primary sites of involvement for HS are the intertriginous skin areas of the axillary, groin, perianal, perineal, and inframammary regions, though HS can occur in any skin area that contains FPSUs. The clinical manifestations vary, ranging from recurrent inflamed nodules and abscesses to draining skin tunnels (previously referred to as sinus tracts or fistulae) and bands of severe scar formation. The associated pain, malodor, drainage, and disfigurement that accompany HS contribute to a profound psychosocial impact of the disease on many patients. […] Early HS lesions may mimic other disorders; misdiagnosis of HS as recurrent furunculosis or „boils” is common. Prompt recognition of the correct diagnosis is important. An early and accurate diagnosis facilitates the initiation of a treatment plan aimed at minimizing the risk of progression to disabling, severe disease.

  Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a painful, long-term skin condition that causes skin abscesses and scarring on the skin. […] The symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa range from mild to severe. It causes a mixture of boil-like lumps, blackheads, cysts, scarring and channels in the skin that leak pus. […] The condition tends to start with blackheads, spots filled with pus and firm pea-sized lumps that develop in one place. The lumps will either disappear or rupture and leak pus after a few hours or days. […] New lumps will then often develop in an area nearby. If these are not controlled with medicine, larger lumps may develop and spread. Narrow channels called sinus tracts also form under the skin that break out on the surface and leak pus. […] Hidradenitis suppurativa can be very painful. The lumps develop on the skin in the following areas: around the groin and genitals, in the armpits, on the bottom and around the anus, below the breasts.

  Symptoms of HS occur in cycles (flare-ups) that tend to follow a pattern: The skin lumps multiply and grow, burrowing deeper under the skin. Some lumps break open. They may drain above the skin, leaving an open wound, or cause painful abscesses (pockets of pus) to form below the skin. Over time, tunnels (sinus tracts) connecting several abscesses may also form beneath the skin. If any of these tunnels run from an abscess to the skins surface, theyll leak pus. And if bacteria gets into these abscesses, they may become infected. […] Hidradenitis suppurativa abscesses may eventually heal on their own, but they can come back during a future flare-up. This continuous cycle of inflammation and healing also causes the skin to thicken and scar, which can restrict movement. […] Catching and treating HS early helps prevent or reduce flare-ups improving painful or embarrassing symptoms as well as your confidence. […] However, because the lumps associated with HS look like large pimples or common boils, the condition is often misdiagnosed. Many people with HS dont get the care they need until years after their symptoms appear. By this time, their symptoms may be severe (and harder to treat).

  HS tends to begin in an area with thick, coarse hair like the armpits and groin. As the disease progresses, some people may see HS under their breasts. […] As HS progresses, you see more lumps that may look like acne or boils. These lumps can grow and join together. As the lumps grow together, they fill up with fluid and become painful. These painful lumps are called abscesses. […] Without treatment, HS can continue to heal and reappear. Sometimes, it worsens. When this happens, HS can progress from a few acne-like breakouts to deeply scarred skin. […] The deep lumps and tunnels that develop beneath the skin can be painful. Some people need prescription-strength painkillers to help manage the pain. […] The repetitive healing and reopening eventually cause tunnels to form beneath the skin, which are called sinus tracts, and permanent scars.

  As the disease progresses, it can get worse and cause more damage to the skin. […] The lumps can begin to form tunnels underneath the skin. These can become swollen and drain pus constantly. These tunnels are also called sinus tracts. Sometimes you will be able to feel them under the skin, or if you press one part of it, you might see pus coming out from another part of it. It might cause some holes to open up in your skin. It can be very painful and worrying. […] The cycle of the lesions appearing, draining, and healing, along with the formation of tunnels can cause the skin to contract and form scars that look like knots or are rope like in appearance. It can cause the skin to become tight and restrict movement. […] HS is often underestimated as a skin condition. But it can affect us in so many ways. HS is an inflammatory disease and can wreak havoc on our bodies. A lot of people with HS experience other symptoms, either before or during a flare up. These include:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidradenitis_suppurativa

  Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), sometimes known as acne inversa or Verneuil’s disease, is a long-term dermatological condition characterized by the occurrence of inflamed and swollen lumps. These are typically painful and break open, releasing fluid or pus. The areas most commonly affected are the underarms, under the breasts, perineum, buttocks, and the groin. Scar tissue remains after healing. HS may significantly limit many everyday activities, for instance, walking, hugging, moving, and sitting down. Sitting disability may occur in patients with lesions in the sacral, gluteal, perineal, femoral, groin or genital regions. Prolonged periods of sitting down can also worsen the condition of the skin of these patients. […] Diagnosis is based on the symptoms. […] In stage III disease, as classified by Hurley’s staging system, fistulae left undiscovered, undiagnosed, or untreated, can rarely lead to the development of squamous cell carcinoma in the anus or other affected areas. Other stage III chronic sequelae may also include anemia, multi-localized infections, amyloidosis, and arthropathy. Stage III complications have been known to lead to sepsis, but clinical data are still uncertain.

  https://www.uptodate.com/contents/hidradenitis-suppurativa-pathogenesis-clinical-features-and-diagnosis

  Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS; from the Greek hidros = sweat, and aden = glands) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that is also known as acne inversa and, historically, as Verneuil’s disease. The primary sites of involvement for HS are the intertriginous skin areas of the axillary, groin, perianal, perineal, and inframammary regions, though HS can occur in any skin area that contains FPSUs. The clinical manifestations vary, ranging from recurrent inflamed nodules and abscesses to draining skin tunnels (previously referred to as sinus tracts or fistulae) and bands of severe scar formation.

  Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a painful, long-term skin condition. It causes abscesses and scarring on the skin. It occurs near hair follicles where there are sweat glands, usually around the groin, buttocks, breasts and armpits. […] The symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa range from mild to severe. It causes a mixture of red boil-like lumps, blackheads, cysts, scarring and channels in the skin that leak pus. The condition tends to start with a firm pea-sized lesion that develops in one place. This will either disappear or rupture and ooze pus after a few hours or days. New lumps will then often develop in an area nearby. If these aren’t controlled with medication, larger lumps may develop and spread. Narrow channels called sinus tracts also form under the skin that break out on the surface and leak pus.

  Symptoms of HS occur in cycles (flare-ups) that tend to follow a pattern: The skin lumps multiply and grow, burrowing deeper under the skin. Some lumps break open. They may drain above the skin, leaving an open wound, or cause painful abscesses (pockets of pus) to form below the skin. Over time, tunnels (sinus tracts) connecting several abscesses may also form beneath the skin. If any of these tunnels run from an abscess to the skins surface, theyll leak pus. And if bacteria gets into these abscesses, they may become infected. […] Hidradenitis suppurativa abscesses may eventually heal on their own, but they can come back during a future flare-up. This continuous cycle of inflammation and healing also causes the skin to thicken and scar, which can restrict movement. […] Catching and treating HS early helps prevent or reduce flare-ups improving painful or embarrassing symptoms as well as your confidence. […] However, because the lumps associated with HS look like large pimples or common boils, the condition is often misdiagnosed. Many people with HS dont get the care they need until years after their symptoms appear. By this time, their symptoms may be severe (and harder to treat).
