Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also called acne inversa, is an inflammatory disease characterized by recurring, painful abscesses, and fistulous tracts, and can impact adults and pediatric patients. Symptoms of HS include pain and scarring as well as psychological consequences, such as embarrassment, social isolation, and depression, and is associated with a poor quality of life. Several studies suggest that the prevalence of HS ranges from 0.00033 to 4.1%, although underdiagnosis or improper diagnosis is an issue.

Pediatric patients with skin of color (SOC) face unique challenges in managing AD, including issues with disease associated sequelae. In fact, these patients are more likely to suffer from more severe AD cases. It has also been observed that patients with darker pigmented skin are more likely to develop hypo or hyperpigmentation at the affected sites of disease, and these effects often remain long after the symptoms have gone.

Hidradenitis suppurativa has significant impacts on patients’ quality of life, however, it remains underdiagnosed, misdiagnosed, or incorrectly treated.  Until recently, there was a scarcity of evidence about long-term management strategies and no evidence-based consensus guidelines.  The updated North American guidelines, as well as the growing armamentarium of agents in advanced clinical development, provide additional guidance for optimizing diagnosis and treatment of HS patients.  However, questions still remain about how to best individualize therapy and work as a partner with patients
