Hidradenitis suppurativa is difficult to treat owing to its complex pathomechanism; beside the extensive inflammation with abscesses and inflammatory nodules, there is also an architectural loss with sinus tract formation…
Lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment are useful for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Carbon dioxide lasers are used for cutting or vaporization of the affected area. It…
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a common debilitating skin disease that has been neglected by science. The disease is getting more and more attention, reflected by the rising number of scientific publications….
Although hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is not primarily an infectious disease, antibiotics are widely used to treat HS. Recent microbiological data show that HS suppurating lesions are associated with a polymorphous…
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a complex disease of chronic evolution and difficult management. Imaging, particularly color Doppler ultrasound, has demonstrated a wide range of subclinical anatomic abnormalities, allowing modification of the…
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory, recurrent, debilitating skin disease. Several treatment modalities are available, but most of them lack high-quality evidence. A systematic search was performed to identify…
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic relapsing disease of follicular occlusion that causes immense clinical and psychosocial morbidity when refractory to treatment. HS is no longer considered a disease of…
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder of unknown etiology. The role of hormones in HS remains unclear, but the observation of premenstrual flares, female predominance, and improvement…
Mechanical stress can act as a possible trigger in the development of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The mechanical stress has been supported by (1) the special biomechanical conditions in the typically…
Although the clinical presentation of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is strongly reminiscent of bacterial infection, the role of bacteria remains controversial. Studies have isolated an array of different bacterial specimens as…
