Summary/Abstract: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, debilitating, progressive, recurrent inflammatory disease affecting the skin regions containing apocrine glands, characterized by the appearance of persistent, painful nodules, abscesses and fistulas, most commonly localized in the axilla, groin, buttock and genital. Due to the significant decrease in patients' quality of life and the delay in initiating treatment, the choice of appropriate therapy is extremely important in these patients. There are multiple treatment options for hidradenitis suppurativa, but no effective, curative therapy has been found. This article aims to list existing therapeutic methods and provide updates on current treatment options for inverse acne, in order to raise awareness of this condition and increase the quality of patient care.
