description Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that is characterized by recurrent, painful nodules, sinus tract formation, and scarring. We report the case of a 20-year-old female with the abrupt onset of Hurley stage I HS following the implantation of a levonorgestrel intrauterine device (IUD) and complete remission of disease following the removal of the device one year later. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of long-term remission of HS after the removal of levonorgestrel IUD. We also provide a concise overview of HS and suggested primary interventions for obstetrics and gynecology providers.
