I'm sorry to hear about your pain. Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) can cause severe discomfort. Here are some key points about HS pain:

- Types of Pain: HS pain can be acute or chronic. Acute pain is sharp and severe, often from inflamed cysts or abscesses. Chronic pain is more persistent and can feel like burning, stinging, or throbbing.
- Impact on Daily Life: Pain from HS can affect sleep, work, and social interactions. Many people experience "painsomnia" due to pain-induced insomnia.
- Management: Immediate treatment for acute pain may involve draining abscesses to release pus. Chronic pain management might include medications and lifestyle adjustments.

If your pain is severe, please consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment.
