Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) Overview

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, systemic inflammatory follicular disorder characterized by recurrent, painful deep-seated nodules, abscesses, draining sinus tracts, and progressive scarring. Although lesions manifest anatomically in intertriginous zones rich in apocrine glands, the primary pathobiology is rooted in hyperkeratosis and occlusion of the terminal hair follicle infundibulum followed by follicular rupture, immune dysregulation, and secondary microbial propagation. Diagnosis is clinical, utilizing the Hurley staging system to direct intervention and tracking metabolic comorbidities. Management in 2026 transitions rapidly from acute lifestyle and empiric antibiotic suppression to target-specific biological therapies for moderate-to-severe disease. While TNF-alpha inhibition remains foundational, molecular strategies widely utilize advanced interleukin-17A and interleukin-17A/F inhibitors to achieve sustained skin clearance and reduce inflammatory tunnel formation, complemented by wide surgical excision or deroofing procedures for anatomically fixed fibrotic disease structures.
