Living with HS (acne inversa) means flares you can't predict and appointments that are over too fast. Track flares the way dermatologists assess them — body zones, Hurley stage, IHS4 counts, wound care, and photos — so patterns surface and you walk in with the full picture.
Highlights
- Track a flare in one pass — 11 body zones, Hurley stage, and IHS4 counts: nodules, abscesses, draining tunnels
- Wound care, photos, 16 trigger types, and menstrual cycle phase alongside every flare
- Insights trend flares, pain, and IHS4 over time — with a clinician-ready PDF/CSV for your dermatologist
- Private by default — on your device, no account to start

See what's driving your flares — before your next appointment.

A flare in one pass — zones, Hurley stage, and IHS4 counts, remembered between entries.

The full picture between visits — trends plus a PDF report for your dermatologist, on demand.
Hidradenitis suppurativa — called acne inversa across much of Europe, and maladie de Verneuil in French-speaking communities — is a painful, often stigmatized condition, and the dermatologist only ever sees a snapshot at each visit. This app is built to capture the reality in between: the flares, the wound care, the search for triggers, and the appointments where there’s never enough time to cover everything.
Track a flare the way dermatologists assess it: zones across 11 body regions, Hurley stage, and IHS4 counts of nodules, abscesses, and draining tunnels. Add wound-care entries, photos, triggers, menstrual cycle phase, and optional local temperature and humidity. Months of entries build a picture that’s hard to carry in your head alone — and a clean PDF or CSV export means the visit can focus on what to do next. Made for the HS warrior community. An Apple Watch or Wear OS companion app is included for quick one-tap entries from your wrist.
This app is a personal tracking journal — not a medical device, and not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Features
-
A flare in one pass
Affected zones across 11 body regions, Hurley stage remembered between entries — change it only when it changes — and IHS4 counts of nodules, abscesses, and draining tunnels: the details dermatologists actually ask about.
-
Wound care, day by day
Dressings and daily management, time-to-heal, pain, odor, and sleep-disruption sliders, and an optional private photo log — a visual record that shows change over time in a way words alone can't.
-
The full picture between visits
Insights charts trend flares, pain, IHS4, and triggers over time. Export a clear PDF or CSV so your dermatologist sees the reality between appointments, not just the snapshot in the room.
