Management of hydradenitis suppurativa in the clinical routine between 2013–2023 in the Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Oncodermatology, University of Pécs

Abstract

In the past 10 years, significant progress has been made in the treatment of hydradenitis suppurativa worldwide, including the Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Oncodermatology, University of Pécs. In our hydradenitis outpatient clinic, 100-120 patients a year have been treated in cooperation with dermatologist and surgeons. In mild cases topical treatment and deroofing technique is the first choice of therapy, in severe cases biological treatment and/or major surgical approaches are recommended. Based on the author’s experiences, deroofing surgeries resulted in a long-lasting improvement in mild cases, while in severe hydradenitis, wide excision shows final resolution of the disease.
