A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭
Saint Louis County, MO

I was diagnosed with HS over a year ago now and I get abscess in the usually places armpits, etc. But today I woke up with what feels like one on my eye. I had one before that they had to cut open on my eye but I don't know if this is HS related or not.

It is considered atypical for HS to occur in locations without apocrine glands, such as the face and eyelids. It is possible but uncommon to develop HS on the face; facial symptoms may also be caused by a separate skin condition. If you're experiencing symptoms on your eyelid, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause, as it might be related to another skin condition rather than HS.
