What It's Like To Love Someone With HS

This is one personal story of being affected by Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS).

When Shreya Bahirat first started dating Adarsh Verma, she noticed his HS immediately. "I was like, 'Uh-oh, you've got a pimple," she said, and he casually goes, 'No, it's not a pimple. I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa.' I was like, 'You have... what?'"

For anyone who struggles with HS, it's pretty evident that there's no hiding it from the ones you love. But to find someone who is not only okay with it but offers unconditional love, support, and guidance through the worst of it? Adarsh says it's like an angel came into his life.
