HS causes pockets of puss to form the puss is the infection. HS is your body attacking the sweat glands.

Angela, Aquila is right. All situations I've noticed are not the same. When I get a flare, it's like the core out of a Blackhead. It comes out and the tract drain a little and that's the end of it. I have Antibiotics standing by in case I get a flare with pus. 😀
