This study will build on data from mice and humans implicating TRPV1 nociceptors in the pathogenesis of the type-17 chronic inflammatory skin disease Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). In this study, the investigators will test the hypothesis that inhibiting neuropeptide activity with botulinum toxin reduces pathogenic inflammation.
