Living with hidradenitis suppurativa.

Dermatology nurses and other health care professionals may sometimes fail to appreciate and recognize the physical and emotional challenges faced by patients with a particular chronic dermatologic disease or condition. To better bring patients’ feelings and perceptions into focus, the Dermatology Nursing Editorial Board is excited to introduce a new series, “Patients’ Perspectives: Living With...” The goal is that these important patient views and comments will improve patient care. If you know of a patient who would be interested in sharing his/her experiences with the dermatology nursing community, please ask him/her to briefly answer (3-5 sentences) the questions as outlined here. Submissions can be sent via e-mail to the journal office at [email protected] or mailed to Patients’ Perspectives, Dermatology Nursing, East Holly Avenue Box 56, Pitman, NJ 080710056.
