Answers:
Because HS is considered a rare disease, its incidence rate is not well known, but has been estimated as being between 1:24 (4!.1%) and 1:600 (0!.2%)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Unfortunately there is no cure for HS!. Any dermatologist should be familiar with it!. Until you go, just keep the areas clean that are infected and some anti-inflammatories, like ibuprofen or naproxen may help!. The doc will probably give you antibiotics if it is very bad or some steroids!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
