Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) affects countless individuals, causing painful abscesses and scarring and impacting every aspect of life. Yet, it often remains shrouded in silence and misunderstanding. Join us for a powerful conversation with Barry McGrath, co-founder of HS Ireland, patient advocate, and former scientific clinical researcher, as we shine a light on this chronic condition.
Barry discusses his own experience with HS and the challenges faced by people with the condition. He also provides advice for people who are newly diagnosed with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, including finding a good medical team, joining a patient support group, and advocating for themselves.
