Abstract
Hidradenitis suppurativa (acne inversa) is a chronic, inflammatory, primary follicular disease triggered by follicular occlusion with subsequent inflammation and destruction of the skin appendage, affecting hair follicles located in apocrine gland-bearing body areas. Clinical presentation of hidradenitis suppurativa is extremely variable showing a wide spectrum of cutaneous lesions in different stages of evolution, different pattern of distribution and grades of severity. Traditionally for severity staging the Hurley clinical grading system has been used where stage I stands for mild disease while stage II and III for moderate and severe stages respectively. 2015 classification of Van Der Zee and Jemec proposed 6 phenotypes of hidradenitis suppurativa: regular type, frictional furuncle type, scarring folliculitis type, conglobata type, syndromic type, ectopic type.
We present a photogallery on this problem.
