Find Clarity for Your Skin Health Journey
If you’ve been struggling with painful, recurring skin abscesses in areas like your armpits, groin, or under the breasts, you’re not alone. These symptoms can significantly impact your daily life, self-confidence, and overall wellbeing. Our PSEN1 Gene Acne Inversa Familial Type 3 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you’ve been searching for, helping you understand whether your condition has a genetic basis and empowering you with knowledge for better health management.
Understanding Your PSEN1 Genetic Test
This specialised DNA test examines the PSEN1 gene using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify specific mutations associated with familial acne inversa type 3. Unlike regular acne, this condition involves deep, painful nodules and abscesses that can lead to scarring and chronic inflammation. By detecting these genetic markers, we can provide clarity about your condition’s hereditary nature and help guide appropriate treatment approaches.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Recurrent, painful abscesses in skin fold areas (armpits, groin, under breasts)
- Multiple family members with similar skin conditions
- Skin lesions that don’t respond to conventional acne treatments
- Scarring and sinus tract formation from previous abscesses
- Onset of symptoms during or after puberty
- Concerns about passing the condition to your children
Many South Africans with these symptoms have found life-changing answers through genetic testing, enabling them to pursue more targeted and effective treatment strategies.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Understanding your genetic risk for familial acne inversa provides numerous benefits:
- Personalised Treatment Plans: Work with your dermatologist to develop targeted therapies
- Family Planning Insights: Understand inheritance patterns for future family decisions
- Preventive Care: Implement lifestyle changes to reduce flare-ups
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty and anxiety about your condition
- Early Intervention: Address symptoms before they become severe
- Cost Savings: Avoid unnecessary treatments and medications
