People with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) often have additional diagnoses, known as comorbidities. Some common comorbidities include:

- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): There is a noted overlap between HS and PCOS, including shared symptoms like hirsutism and acne.
- Metabolic Syndrome (MetS): People with HS are two to four times more likely to develop MetS, which includes conditions like high blood pressure and high blood sugar.
- Diabetes and Prediabetes: These conditions are more prevalent in people with HS and can lead to more severe HS symptoms.
