HS Brotherhood

Season 1: Episode 2 - Parish’s Story

HS Connect Season 1 Episode 2

Join hosts Joey Torre and Parish Armstead for a raw, unfiltered conversation about navigating life with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) as men in a world that often misunderstands chronic illness. In this deeply personal episode, Parish opens up about: 

  • The early struggles of getting diagnosed and feeling isolated. 
  • Breaking the stigma of HS in male communities. 
  • How he transformed frustration into advocacy—and what keeps him fighting.
