How do you know if adalimumab is working for hidradenitis suppurativa? It's a great question, and the answer takes a little patience — this medication doesn't work overnight.

Most people start to notice changes gradually over several weeks to months. Here are some signs that it may be working:

- Flares happen less often or feel less painful
- Affected skin areas start to improve
- Less drainage from lesions over time A myHSteam member shared: "The pain of the injection is nothing compared to the days or weeks waiting on one to drain or just go away." Many members say that while progress can feel slow, improvements do come with time.
