I have been diagnosed with hidradenitis suppurativa. How can I meet the listing for this condition?
To meet the requirements for this condition, a claimant must have extensive skin lesions involving both axillae, both inguinal areas of the perineum that persist for at least 3 months despite continuing treatment as prescribed. Additionally, if you do not have continuing treatment as prescribed, if your treatment has not lasted for at least 3 months, or if you do not have extensive skin lesions that have persisted for at least 3 months, your impairment cannot meet the requirements of the listing. However, SSA may still find a claimant disabled because the impairment meets the requirements of a listing in another body system or medically equals the severity of a listing.
