Yes, Humira (Adalimumab) is indeed used to help manage Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). It is the only biologic medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically for HS. However, it's important to note that while Humira can be effective in reducing inflammation by blocking TNF, a protein involved in inflammatory processes, there is an associated risk of certain types of cancer. This includes an increased risk of non-melanoma skin cancer and other cancers as noted in some studies and reports. Always discuss the benefits and risks of using Humira with your healthcare provider to make an informed decision that best suits your health needs.
