Stage 3 hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is not inevitable. The severity and development of HS are classified by three stages using the Hurley staging system:

- Stage 1: Involves one nodule or isolated abscess without sinus tract formation or scarring.
- Stage 2: Involves recurrent abscesses or nodules with widely separated lesions, sinus tract formation, and scarring.
- Stage 3: Involves multiple recurrent abscesses or nodules, interconnected draining sinus tracts, and severe scarring.

Progression to stage 3 can be influenced by various factors, and early intervention and treatment may help manage the condition and potentially prevent progression.
