Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an underdiagnosed and undertreated skin affection. Previous studies suggest that psychiatric conditions are more frequent in patients with HS than other dermotologic diseases. In Colombia, we found no descriptive of its comorbidities. We described the HRQoL relationship some

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a rare chronic skin condition involving the apocrine glandular zones, which are found predominantly in the axilla and inguinoperineal regions, but have been described at other sites, including the inframammary fold. Treatment requires complex surgical intervention with wide excision of involved tissue. Inframammary hidradenitis tends to affect young women and can pro...

We report on two young adults with KID syndrome and follicular hyperkeratosis, hidradenitis suppurativa of the groin, progressive development of proliferative pilar cysts and dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, who developed metastatic malignant pilar tumors. Based on our findings, we believe that cancer surveillance in patients with KID syndrome should include screening for pilar tumors and th...

Sir, Hidradenitis suppurativa is a complex and challenging disease, the severity of which ranges from almost asymptomatic to one that severely affects the quality of life.[1] Clinicians often face severely affected patients who require a multi‐disciplinary approach for diagnosis and treatment. We report a patient not responding to conventional therapy, who was then treated with the help of a pl...

PAPASH syndrome is a rare autoinflammatory consisting of four essential components: pyogenic arthritis (PA), pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), acne (A), and suppurative hidradenitis (SH). The true etiology unknown, yet genetic analysis has shown associations with PSTPIP1 mutations, which ultimately lead to elevations in interleukin-1 activity. Herein, we report case painful ulcers 47-year-old Syrian m...

A 19-year old girl presented with painful recurrent abscesses in axillae and perineal region of 1 year duration. The abscess used to rupture and drain, resulting in healed sinus and scar formation. Routine investigations were normal. F N A C showed dense suppurative inflammation with macrophages, a few squamous and apocrine cells. Gram stain showed positive tiny cocci in chains. Culture yielded...

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an androgen dependent acneiform eruption primarily affecting areas with apocrine hair follicles, such as the axilla, under the breasts, and the perianal and perigenital regions (Figs. 1–3). It is a chronic condition that is very difficult to treat. Sequelae in the most severe cases include painful and disfiguring scarring and an increased risk of skin cancer in ...
