Are you looking for dermatologists or doctors in Washington state who specialize in treating hidradenitis suppurativa?

Finding a specialist who truly understands HS can make a huge difference in your care. Here are some helpful resources to locate providers in Washington state:

National Directories:
- Hidradenitis Suppurativa Specialty Clinics directory through the HS Foundation
- HS Connect's dermatologists by state listing
- American Academy of Dermatology's "Find a Dermatologist" tool

What to Look For:

When searching for a provider, consider asking:
- How often do you see patients with HS?
- What treatments do you recommend for HS?
- What causes HS?

Getting Started:

Check if your insurance requires a referral before seeing a specialist. If so, ask your primary care provider for a referral to a board-certified dermatologist or complex medical dermatologist who has experience with HS.

If you can't find a specialist nearby, telehealth visits are also an option. Many dermatologists can examine, diagnose, and prescribe treatment for HS through video consultations.

Don't hesitate to seek a second opinion if you don't feel comfortable with your initial provider. Finding someone knowledgeable and empathetic about HS is worth the effort.
