HS most commonly occurs in the armpit, groin , buttocks and under/between the breasts.
however- severe cases can show lesions at any site on the body including arms legs and face.in fact- some conditions (including pilonidal sinus disease and dissecting cellulitis of the scalp) are thought to be variants of HS- so it is believed that HS can occur anywhere on the body.
