I am sorry for the gap in updates. Alongside a busy period of design work, I developed cellulitis and needed time to recover.
I have now recovered from cellulitis and am gradually returning to my usual activities.
UCB Japan has given us the opportunity to share information about its HS awareness seminar on June 6.
The first week of June is HS Awareness Week. This live event, including a guest discussion, will explain HS and when to consult a dermatologist for people wondering whether to wait or seek care for recurring skin symptoms.
The location and appearance of HS symptoms can make it difficult to discuss them or seek medical care.
I believe some people cope alone for a long time, assuming these are ordinary boils or just something their body is prone to.
I hope opportunities like this help more people feel able to ask for advice and speak with a dermatologist.
HSVCJ will gradually resume sharing information. At a manageable pace, we hope to continue bringing information and voices from a patient's perspective.
