Stage IV HS Mayo Clinic

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭
Alameda, CA

Has anyone else been diagnosed with STAGE IV (4) FOUR HS?
The dermatology and surgical team @ Mayo Cinic have my daughter’s HS as stage 4. There’s nothing out there information wise on a stage four.

Looks like 2 different systems of classification:
The International Hidradenitis Suppurativa (IHS) score system classifies HS severity as follows:
3 or less: Mild HS
4–10: Moderate HS
11 or higher: Severe HS 

Or the hurley system which consists of stage I,stage II ,stage III.

I would ask the doc which was used. My dermatologist used the hurley system.
