Hey reader(S) , today taca mau share about satu penyakit . penyakit ni dah lamaa , tapi ia dah tambah teruk . kebanyakan orang barat yang akan kena . hee ~ so , be careful jaaa . ini utk perhatian sahaja :)


Hidradenitis suppurativa, commonly referred to as acne inversa, is a severe inflammatory skin condition manifesting through blackheads and painful red bumps filled with pus that may persist for weeks or even months. This inflammatory skin condition is certainly amongst the most distressing and severe, which many sufferers find difficult to cope with both physically and psychologically. Although there is no known Hidradenitis suppurativa treatment, statistics show that there are certain acne treatment methods and specific Hidradenitis suppurativa surgery methods, which have an extremely low success rate as they do not address the causative factors.


Despite its name, this ailment is not really a type of acne, but a chronic disorder of a certain type of sweat gland called apocrine, characterized by similar symptoms to acne. The term ‘inversa’ is used to link the pathogenesis of this illness to acne, suggesting the localizations of the pustules and skin lesions – inverse to acne vulgaris. In other words, abscesses affect the armpits, groin and inner thighs as well as the anal area, these being the main locations of the apocrine glands. But other areas of the body, where skin tends to rub together or where hair follicles are found, can also be affected.



Why does Acne Inversa occur?

Hidradenitis suppurativa appears when the openings of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands become blocked with dead skin cells, fluid or oil released by the apocrine glands and bacteria existing on the skin’s surface. All these mixed substances become trapped under the skin and start pushing into the surrounding tissues. This leads, in the first stages of the diseases, to blackheads and small bumps called abscesses, which then develop into hard, puss-filled lumps and large draining lesions that can reach the size of golf balls.
The general symptoms and signs of this skin condition are small black spots appearing in pairs, tender bumps which usually enlarge and break after a while, draining pus, painful lumps which develop under the skin, get inflamed and persist for years and the leaking sores that trigger the formation of tunnels under the affected areas of the skin.
These skin lesions are extremely painful and often leave scars or open wounds that can only be reduced through specific Hidradenitis suppurativa surgery methods. Although it’s not known what exactly triggers the appearance of HS or what causes the flare-ups, it is thought that hormonal changes, stress, humidity, heat, excess weight and smoking play a role in this process. However, given the uncertainty about the causes of this skin condition, Hidradenitis suppurativa treatment alternatives are often unspecific and therefore can prove to be ineffective in the long run.
