Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic condition, and its course can vary greatly from person to person. While some people may experience periods of remission, others continue to have breakouts throughout their lives. Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer as to whether HS will completely "burn out" over time.
