Role of Hormones in Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) and Other Skin Diseases - Clinical Trial

¿Cuál es el Propósito de este estudio?

We are doing this study to understand how sex hormones (chemicals that tell cells and body parts to do certain things), such as estrogens and androgens, impact skin diseases like hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). To better understand this, we are enrolling both people who have diagnosed skin diseases and healthy volunteers who have no skin issues.
