Ep 141 – Hidradenitis suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that typically affects areas of pilosebaceous gland-containing skin. In HS, patients often suffer recurrent attacks of discharging and painful lesions that can require multiple courses of antibiotics or surgical drainage. The condition causes significant morbidity, distress and sometimes long-term scarring. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at the disease process, classification and classical features of HS as well as conservative, medical and surgical treatment options.
