“…Both pruritus and malodour in HS patients negatively correlated with HRQoL [ 74 ]. Higher stigmatisation scores correlated with worse HRQoL (r: 0.52, p < 0.001) [ 75 ]. HS symptom severity strongly correlated with negative impact on relationships [ 69 ].…”

Knowledge on hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa (HS) is rapidly increasing. HS has a profound impact on patients and their family life. Several factors, such as comorbidities, unemployment and HS severity, make this impact even more severe. The most widely used instrument to measure this impact is the dermatology-specific DLQI. We also identified six HS-specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instruments. Of them, HIDRAdisk, HSIA, HiSQOL and HSQoL-24 are better validated but there is still lack of experience of its use. Several treatment methods showed positive effect on patients’ HRQoL. Surgery remains a method with a substantial positive effect on HRQoL. Several studies confirming a positive effect of adalimumab on the HRQoL of patients with HS were published during the last three years. Data on the influence of several other biologics on HRQoL of HS patients are controversial or based on studies with a small number of patients.

“…Relationships between some dermatological diseases such as psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, acne vulgaris, seborrheic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa and chronic pruritus and depression and anxiety were evaluated in different studies [24][25][26][27][28]. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted to evaluate the relationship between scabies and depression and anxiety.…”

Introduction: A small number of studies have shown that scabies causes impairment in the quality of life in adult patients. There was no study evaluated the depression and anxiety and their relationships between life quality in patients with scabies. The aims of this study are to assess the impact of scabies on adult patients’ quality of life and evaluate the relationship between depression and anxiety levels and impairment in life quality. Methods: This cross-sectional study included adult patients diagnosed with scabies in our dermatology outpatient clinic. The demographic data and characteristics of patients were recorded. The effect of scabies on quality of life was evaluated by Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and the levels of depression and anxiety were evaluated by Beck Depression Scale (BDS) and Beck Anxiety Scale (BAS).Results: Totally, 85 patients included to the study. The mean ± SD total DLQI score was 10.54 ± 6.17. The quality of life of 72.2% of the patients was moderate to extremely large affected. The domain with the highest impact on patients that ‘symptoms and feelings’ was impaired in all patients. The other domains that had the most impact on patients were ‘work and school’, ‘personal relationships’ and ‘daily activities’, respectively. There was a positive correlation between the duration of the disease, the total DLQI score and the severity of the disease’s impact on quality of life (rs= 0.287, p= 0.01 and rs=0.280, p= 0.008, respectively). The mean BDS score ± SD was 12.11 ± 9.52 and the mean BAS score ± SD was 8.81 ± 9.45. There was a positive correlation between BDS and BAS, and total DLQI score (rs=0.448 and p=0.000; rs=0.456 and p=0.000, respectively).Conclusion: Scabies has a moderate to severe effect on life quality on patients. There was a positive correlation between impairment quality of life and anxiety and depression scores.

Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder of the hair follicle characterized by intense discharge and pain. Recently, HS's intrinsic association with neuropsychiatric disorders has become a focus of attention, and bipolar disorder (BD) emerged as a relevant topic for such an association. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate BD's prevalence among HS patients and present the HS and BD overlap patients' demographics, detailed clinical characteristics with a discussion on aggravating factors. Patients-Method: A retrospective chart review of 247 HS outpatients (Group-1) identified eight patients with BD. The frequency of BD in HS patients is compared to psoriasis patients (Group-2) and controls (Group-3) in age- and gender-matched groups. The demographic and clinical features of the 8 patients revealing HS-BD co-existence were analysed. Results: BD (n=9) was the 7th most common co-morbidity in the HS cohort. The frequency of BD is detected as 3.6% in group 1, 0.7% (n=1) in group 2, and 0.6% (n=1) in group 3, respectively. Group 1 demonstrated an increased prevalence of BD compared to other groups (p=0.001). Of the 8 patients revealing HS and BD co-existence, 75% were active smokers, 62.5% were obese and 50% had metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: This study's results reveal that the prevalence of BD in HS patients is higher than psoriasis patients and controls. The pathogenetic mechanisms underlying BD and HS co-existence needs to be investigated further.
