Guidelines for the Management of Patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory dermatosis characterized by the presence of inflammatory nodules and abscesses in the apocrine gland-rich areas that may progress to suppurative fistulas and scars. Despite being considered one of the dermatological conditions with the greatest impact on patient quality of life, it is often underdiagnosed. Hidradenitis suppurativa, especially in its severe forms, is associated with numerous comorbidities, so a holistic and multidisciplinary perspective is crucial for the management of these patients. The therapeutic approach is complex and challenging. The medical treatment options are diverse and must be adapted to clinical presentation and disease severity. Surgical therapy should be considered as an adjuvant to medical treatment, particularly in refractory cases and in the presence of scars or anatomical and/or functional mutilation. These recommendations reflect the main aspects of the management of the patient with hidradenitis suppurativa and are addressed to all healthcare professionals who take part in their follow-up.
