Hidradenitis Suppurativa: An Interdisciplinary Problem in Dermatology, Gynecology, and Surgery—Pathogenesis, Comorbidities, and Current Treatments
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also known as acne inversa, is a chronic inflammatory disease that manifests as painful nodules, abscesses, draining dermal tunnels, and scarring in intertriginous areas such as the axillae, groin, and breasts. The nature of the disease and its chronicity have a destru...

description | Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also known as acne inversa, is a chronic inflammatory disease that manifests as painful nodules, abscesses, draining dermal tunnels, and scarring in intertriginous areas such as the axillae, groin, and breasts. The nature of the disease and its chronicity have a destructive impact on mental health and quality of life. HS has an estimated global prevalence of 0.00033–4.1% and it disproportionately affects females compared to males. HS involving the female anogenital regions is reported rarely in the gynecological literature, and it can often be mistaken for other vulvar diseases. The distinct phenotypes and HS rarity cause delayed diagnosis and the implementation of effective treatment. Acne inversa is associated with several comorbidities, including metabolic disease, diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel diseases, and spondyloarthropathies. Although HS etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear, studies have shown that lifestyle, immunological processes, genetics, and hormonal predispositions may promote follicular hyperkeratosis, dilatation, and rupture, leading to the development of chronic tissue inflammation. This article provides updated information on HS pathogenesis, comorbidities, and treatment methods. Furthermore, we share our experience in the surgical treatment of the disease, which often proves most effective, and highlight that an interdisciplinary management approach ensures optimal outcomes. |
