Explanation:

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin condition that is often progressive, with relapses common and can lead to permanent scarring. Antibiotic therapy may not completely clear lesions. While some factors like certain products may exacerbate, it's not solely precipitated by depilatories and deodorants. It is not an infectious disease that can be transmitted to others.

Answer:

It is often progressive with relapses and permanent scarring.
