Petition To fund research for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) to get the knowledge to GP's

I have HS as do many of us here in the UK. HS is a painful skin disease thats courses boil like abscesses that affect the armpit, breast, groin and pubic area. It can effect people mentally as well as physically, like many ive had time of work due to the pain and after having surgery.

More details

I have suffered with this diseases for the past 5 to 6 year and havent got any closer to any kind of relief from the pain the past year i have had 4 operations and now the surgeon's will not see me until i have seen the dermatologist, its a daily battle with my pain. Im not the only one that suffers on a daily basis with the pain and embarrassment of this dreadful disease. We need to see more support for people suffering and GP's and other professionals getting the knowledge to help us.
