Which are the causes of Hidradenitis Suppurativa?
See some of the causes of Hidradenitis Suppurativa according to people who have experience in Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Causes of HS are unknown. Things such as "being overweight" and smoking have been cited as contributors, but the truth is that many people with HS are skinny non-smokers. I mean nothing derogatory by that, but without research, there is no way of knowing the true cause. We do know that it is a defect in the body's autoimmune system. It is possible there is a defect in the hair follicle itself caused by genetics. Until thorough research is conducted, there is no absolute answer to that question.

. To what extent is HS caused by genetic factors?
There are two forms of HS, familial and sporadic. The HS family is one in which
the affected individual has blood relatives who are also affected, although the degree of
involvement can be very different. Assumes at least 40% of the cases, while our research
in the Spanish population indicate that we might get to correspond to 85% of the cases. The HS family is
a hereditary disease and is directly caused by genetic factors, i.e. mutations
specific genes in our genome, which can be identified through analysis genéticomoleculares.
For its part, the HS sporadic is one in which the affected individual do not have blood relatives with
HS. This can be explained both because his HS does not have genetic origins as by the fact that yes
the have and have not seen other family members affected - either because the mutation original founder of
the disease has occurred in that particular patient (who may have descendants affected), well
because the chance of the inheritance has done that you do not have affected relatives known.
In any case, it should be clear that as a general rule, not all the descendants of a patient
HS will inherit the disease.

The causes are still somewhat unknown. But, I believe, that combined with the genetic condition, the part of the hormonal will be linked to the disease.

We do not know the causes of the disease but I think that genetics and hormones come into her home.
