Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Acne Inversa - Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a form of chronic skin condition featuring pea-sized to marble-sized lumps underneath a person's skin. The condition is also known as, 'acne inversa,' and deep-seated lumps commonly develop where a person's skin rubs together, such as in the groin area, armpits, underneath breasts or between buttocks. The lumps associated with hidradenitis suppurativa are often times painful and might break open and drain bad-smelling pus.
