About this trial
Sex hormones are major regulators of skin immunity. Pregnancy represents a unique physiological state of profound hormonal remodeling. In late pregnancy, maternal levels of estrogens, progesterone, and other hormones increase dramatically, offering an unparalleled model to study the impact of sex hormones on skin immunity. Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) provides a clinically relevant model to examine how sex hormones modulate skin inflammation.
