HS was first described in 1839 by French physician Alfred Velpeau, hence it was initially called Velpeau's disease. In 1854, Aristide Verneuil also described HS, so it is also known as Verneiul's disease. It is believed that Karl Marx suffered from HS and that its effects contributed to his writing. Only now, is HS just beginning to be recognized and acknowledged. Still, there are many medical professionals who have never heard of it.
