Hidradenitis Suppurativa
It is a disorder which once begins, has no cure , it can only be controlled.
Medically defined as:-
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also sometimes called acne inversa, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes painful, boil-like lumps to form under the skin.
These lumps usually develop in areas where skin rubs together, such as the armpits, groin, buttocks, and under the breasts.
The lumps can become inflamed and infected, and may eventually burst and drain pus. HS can also cause scarring.

HS is not contagious and it is not caused by poor hygiene
