A member asked:
Hidradenitis suppurative (acne inversa), do you know what causes flare-ups from this disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nobody knows: Lifestyle and situations aren't the key to managing this often very troubling illness. Focus on prescribed rx which is likely to be difficult enough. Consider dermatology and surgical consultations. There's some interesting new work -- some of the biotech products seem to help greatly.
