Expressing support for the designation of June 1, 2026, through June 7, 2026, as "Hidradenitis Suppurativa Awareness Week".

Key Points

• This resolution asks the House of Representatives to officially recognize the first week of June 2026 as a time to raise awareness for a skin disease called HS. The condition causes painful boils and scars and affects about 3.3 million people in the United States.
• The proposal highlights that many people with this condition are misdiagnosed for years. By creating an awareness week, supporters hope to help doctors and the public recognize the symptoms earlier so patients can get the right care before the disease gets worse.
• The resolution also calls for more research into new treatments and better access to medicine. Currently, there are only three major drugs approved to treat this condition, and many patients struggle to afford or find the specialized care they need.
