Where can I get support?
My HS makes me feel down and depressed sometimes when it flares up. It’s affected my work life and social life. How can I overcome this? Is there anywhere I can get support? Sarah

Re: Where can I get support?
You should go to your GP in the first instance. Many GPs are not familiar with the condition but if they are they may be able to offer simple initial advice. If this is not helping then you will need referral to a dermatologist who has some experience of the condition. Your GP should be able to help with this.
The British Association of Dermatologists has an advice leaflet

and within this you will see links to the HS trust, who are another source of support and advice

Hope this helps
