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

National Directories:
- Hidradenitis Suppurativa Specialty Clinics directory through the HS Foundation

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.
