Despite being a relatively straightforward clinical diagnosis, recognition of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is highly variable, and clinical management is challenging and complex.�Written by the world�s leading experts in HS,�A Comprehensive Guide to Hidradenitis Suppurativa�brings together�up-to-date scientific evidence�on the diagnosis,�patho-mechanisms, comorbidities, and multi-faceted medical and surgical interventions for this debilitating condition�in one convenient reference.

• Covers�every aspect of this complex skin disorder: etiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, medical, alternative therapies, a range of surgical options, laser treatments, and comorbidities.�

• Discusses�specific patient populations�such as children, women of childbearing potential, and pregnant and breastfeeding women. Because HS has higher prevalence in people of�skin of color, this patient population is well-documented in the text.��

• Offers insights into�multi-disciplinary care, patient support and education, patients at risk for rapid disease progression, and clinical and translational research.�

• Features�procedural videos�covering laser therapies, de-roofing procedures, excisions and closure techniques,�cryoinsufflation�techniques, and special wound care material selection and techniques.�

• Includes�recent FDA-approved drugs�as well as those drugs and therapies that show future promise.��

• Identifies�evidence gaps�that provide a springboard to the future innovations in HS care to come.�
