Role of Hormones in Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) and Other Skin Diseases - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
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).
