1 Hidradenitis Suppurativa Young-San, Jeon Department of Surgery Thyroid and breast center, Goo Hospital

2 Definition Hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory, recurrent, debilitating skin disease of the hair follicle Historical background First described in 1839 by Velpeau In 1854, French Surgeon Verneuil gave a name to this disorder Common Site Axilla Groin Buttock Inframammry or intermammary fold Concomittent ds. Inflammatory bowel ds. Hypothyroidism

3 Definition

4 Epidemiology Incidence average global prevalence of 1% : not rare F:M = 2~5:1 but axilla : no gender prediction?? Mean age of onset : 22.1yrs The average interval from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis is 7.2 years References: 1. Sundaram M, et al. EADV. 2012:P von der Werth. JEADV. 2000;14: Cosmatos, et al. JAAD. 2013;68(3): Jemec GB. N Engl J Med. 2012;366(2): Palmer R, Keefe M. Clin Dermatol. 2001;26:

5 Pathogenesis The exact cause of HS is unknown, inappropriated immune response(hypothesis)

6 Risk Factor Associated Smoking HS vs matched controls: OR = Correlated with HS severity Obesity HS vs matched controls: OR = 4.42 Correlated with HS severity Female sex Female:male ratio, 3:1 Genetic 35~40% family history Causal Friction/mechanical Medications (eg, lithium) Hormonal influences(sex hormone) Female predominance HS declines after menopause HS can flare premenses improves with pregnancy No evidence of hyperandrogenism in most studies References: 1. Jemec GB. N Engl J Med. 2012;366(2): Revuz JE, et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2008;59(4): Alikhan A, et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2009;60(4): Yazdanyar S, et al. Curr Opin Infect Dis. 2011;24(2):

7 Clinically!!! Based diagnosis Diagnosis Most laboratory investigations and Bx. are unhelpful Primary positive diagnostic criteria History: Recurrent painful or suppurating lesions more than 2 /6 months Typical site : axilla, bottock, genitofemoral area, infra or inter mammary area Typical lesion : Presence of nodules (inflamed or noninflamed) sinus tracts (inflamed or noninflamed) abscesses scarring (atrophic, red, hypertrophic or linear)

8 Diagnosis Typical lesion Nodules(inflamed noninflamed) Fistula(inflamed or noninflamed),scarring (hypertrophic or linear), Abscess orifice Fistula Sinus Tract

9 Diagnosis Seven questions which aid in the diagnosis of HS: Yes supports HS diagnosis 1. Family with same symptoms? 2. Boils recur in same spot? 3. Smoke tobacco? 4. Premenstrual flares? No supports HS diagnosis 1. Previous treatment helped? 2. Infections elsewhere? 3. Fever with boils?

10 Severity Assessment - Hurley Stage Hurley Stage I II III Description Abscess formation, single or multiple, without sinus tracts and cicatrization Single or multiple, widely separated, recurrent abscesses with tract formation and cicatrization Diffuse or near-diffuse involvement, or multiple interconnected tracts and abscesses across the entire area

11 Severity Assessment - PGA Description HS-PGA ( Hidradenitis Suppurativa Physician s Global Assessment ) Clear (0) Minimal (1) Mild (2) Moderate (3) Severe (4) Very severe (5) 0 abscesses, 0 draining fistulas, 0 inflammatory nodules, and 0 noninflammatory nodules 0 abscesses, 0 draining fistulas, 0 inflammatory nodules, and presence of noninflammatory nodules 0 abscesses, 0 draining fistulas, and 1 4 inflammatory nodules; or 1 abscess or draining fistula and inflammatory nodules 0 abscesses, 0 draining fistulas, and 5 inflammatory nodules; or 1 abscess or draining fistula and 1 inflammatory nodule; or 2 5 abscesses or draining fistulas and <10 inflammatory nodules 2 5 abscesses or draining fistulas and 10 inflammatory nodules >5 abscesses or draining fistulas Reference: 1. Kimball A, et al. BJD. 2014;171:

12 Treatment for HS 1. Life-style modification 2. Antibiotics 3. Biologics 4. Surgery 5. Others.. There is no single effective treatment for HS Combination of available treatments

13 Treatment for HS Life-style modification Reduce heat, sweating and friction in the area Loose clothing, boxer-type underwear Stop all dairy products Low glycemic load diet Stop smoking! Reduction of Weight!
