Did you know that June is Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) Awareness Month?
🎗️HS is a painful, chronic inflammatory skin condition causing deep, recurrent lumps in areas where skin touches skin. It affects roughly 1% to 2% of the population, yet many suffer in silence due to misdiagnosis or stigma. Let's clear up the biggest misconception right now: HS is not contagious, and it is not a result of poor hygiene. It is a complex immune-mediated disease.
Living with a chronic condition can create unexpected hurdles, but it shouldn't stop you from building the future you want. If you or an immediate family member lives with HS, the UCB Hidradenitis Suppurativa Scholarship is officially open to help ease the financial burden of higher education and professional development.
