I had the worst outbreak ever this past summer and cried myself to sleep that night. The next day, I thought about why it was so bad and I realized I had cooked some different recipes that weekend. I Googled "can foods cause HS" and ran across a lady on this site, I believe, talking about being in remission after cutting nightshades. I had Googled aabout HS for YEARS.. so has my family... and my dermatologist. Nobody had ever heard of it!
The lady said any food sensitivity can do It but nightshades are known to make autoimmune conditions worse. It all made sense, I tried it and it worked!
I work with a girl whose brother in law has lupus. IIt's an autoimmune condition. He was hospitalized 3 times this summer but is doing better now. I asked her if he ate lots of nightshades and she said he LOVED peppers from the garden and had been eating them all summer when they were in season! She was going to tell him about nightshades!

Google "nightshades and autoimmune". You'll see lots of info on it. I don't think doctors have caught on yet. It also takes lots of dedication from the patient to not eat them. I MISS POTATOES! But I eat sweet potatoes now because they're not a nightshade like regular potatoes.

Just had surgery for my worst case of HS
Ever... So I'm not a Doctor but I would say it has nothing to do with smoking

Hidradenitis suppurativa is more common in obese people and in cigarette smokers. Obesity and smoking are not direct causes. However, they can be thought of as risk factors.
