Pierre Wolkenstein et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2007 Apr.

Abstract

Objective: We sought to determine quality of life impairment in hidradenitis suppurativa.

Methods: Questionnaires were administered to 61 patients.

Results: Quality of life impact in hidradenitis was much greater than that of several other dermatologic conditions.

Limitation: This hospital-based population may not be representative.

Conclusion: Hidradenitis is one of the most distressing conditions observed in dermatology.
