Finding an in-person HS support group in Arizona can be tricky, but there are some great options worth exploring!
The Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (HSF) is a good starting point — they sometimes help connect people to local or regional support groups. It's worth checking their website or reaching out to them directly to ask about any Arizona-based groups.
Here are a few other suggestions to help find in-person support:
- Ask your dermatologist or surgeon — they may know of local patient groups or community resources in your area
- Search Meetup.com for HS-related groups in Arizona
- Check Facebook Groups — some are geographically organized and may have Arizona members who meet locally
- Contact local hospitals or clinics — they sometimes host chronic condition support groups
If an in-person group isn't available nearby, online support groups are a genuinely effective alternative. They're especially handy during a flare-up when getting out isn't easy — you can access support right from home, which many people find just as meaningful as meeting face-to-face.
It's always worth reaching out, because as one myHSteam member put it, more people have HS than you'd think and no one should have to navigate it alone.
