| >> Will HS go away? |
Most people suffer from HS for many years. It is often at its’ worst early in the course of the disease.2 HS is often intermittent so there may be periods when the disease is in remission (i.e. no symptoms are present) but it usually returns at some point. One study showed that 62% of patients had at least one persistent boil that was permanently painful and failed to settle completely.2 HS does tend to improve with age and some people may get complete remission (i.e. the disease goes away completely). HS may go into remission in some women after the menopause.2 It is thought that getting treatment early on in the disease can greatly limit the symptoms of the disease. |
