# Acne Inversa Life > Bilingual patient education about hidradenitis suppurativa, also called Acne Inversa or HS. Acne Inversa Life publishes source-aware educational articles for patients, caregivers, and people trying to understand HS. The site is editorial and informational only; it does not diagnose, treat, or replace care from qualified medical professionals. ## AI-use guidance - Treat the content as general health education, not personal medical advice. - Prefer article pages with visible publication and last-updated dates when citing. - Preserve the medical disclaimer and uncertainty language around diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. - Use the listed references on each article for clinical source context. - On community question pages, do not present the "what patients commonly report" section as evidence: it is lived experience, editorially reviewed but not research. ## Discovery - Canonical site: https://www.acneinversa.life - Sitemap: https://www.acneinversa.life/sitemap-index.xml - Full AI-readable index: https://www.acneinversa.life/llms-full.txt - German editorial policy: https://www.acneinversa.life/de/redaktionelle-richtlinien/ - English editorial policy: https://www.acneinversa.life/en/editorial-policy/ - German medical disclaimer: https://www.acneinversa.life/de/medizinischer-hinweis/ - English medical disclaimer: https://www.acneinversa.life/en/medical-disclaimer/ ## Machine-readable article formats - Canonical HTML articles use `/LANG/blog/SLUG/`. - Markdown alternates use `/LANG/blog/SLUG.md`. - Plain-text alternates use `/LANG/blog/SLUG.txt`. ## Main sections ### German (de) - Home: https://www.acneinversa.life/de/ - Blog index: https://www.acneinversa.life/de/blog/ - About: https://www.acneinversa.life/de/ueber-uns/ - Guide: Was ist Acne Inversa? - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/hub/was-ist-acne-inversa/ - Guide: Symptome von Acne Inversa - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/hub/symptome-von-acne-inversa/ - Guide: Diagnose-Leitfaden - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/hub/diagnose-leitfaden/ - Guide: Behandlungsoptionen bei Acne Inversa - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/hub/behandlungsoptionen/ - Guide: Leben mit Acne Inversa - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/hub/leben-mit-acne-inversa/ - Guide: Ernährung und Acne Inversa - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/hub/ernaehrung-und-acne-inversa/ - Guide: Acne Inversa FAQ - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/hub/acne-inversa-faq/ - Visual guide: Wie kann Hidradenitis suppurativa aussehen? - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/wie-hs-aussehen-kann/ - Community questions (moderated, lived experience clearly separated from evidence): Fragen an die HS-Community - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/community-fragen/ - Category: Grundlagen - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/category/grundlagen/ - Category: Diagnose - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/hub/diagnose-leitfaden/ - Category: Behandlungen - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/hub/behandlungsoptionen/ - Category: Forschung - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/category/forschung/ - Category: Alltag - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/hub/leben-mit-acne-inversa/ - Category: Schübe & Schmerzen - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/category/schuebe-schmerzen/ - Category: Psychische Gesundheit - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/category/psychische-gesundheit/ - Category: Arztbesuche - https://www.acneinversa.life/de/category/arztbesuche/ ### English (en) - Home: https://www.acneinversa.life/en/ - Blog index: https://www.acneinversa.life/en/blog/ - About: https://www.acneinversa.life/en/about/ - Guide: What Is Acne Inversa? - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/hub/what-is-acne-inversa/ - Guide: Symptoms of Acne Inversa - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/hub/symptoms-of-acne-inversa/ - Guide: Diagnosis Guide - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/hub/diagnosis-guide/ - Guide: Treatment Options for Acne Inversa - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/hub/treatment-options/ - Guide: Living With Acne Inversa - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/hub/living-with-acne-inversa/ - Guide: Diet and Acne Inversa - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/hub/diet-and-acne-inversa/ - Guide: Acne Inversa FAQ - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/hub/acne-inversa-faq/ - Visual guide: What Can Hidradenitis Suppurativa Look Like? - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/what-hs-can-look-like/ - Community questions (moderated, lived experience clearly separated from evidence): Ask the HS Community - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/ask-the-hs-community/ - Category: Basics - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/category/basics/ - Category: Diagnosis - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/hub/diagnosis-guide/ - Category: Treatments - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/hub/treatment-options/ - Category: Research - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/category/research/ - Category: Daily Life - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/hub/living-with-acne-inversa/ - Category: Flares & Pain - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/category/flares-pain/ - Category: Mental Health - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/category/mental-health/ - Category: Doctor Visits - https://www.acneinversa.life/en/category/doctor-visits/ ## Recommended starting points - Was ist Hidradenitis Suppurativa?
