“…Adjunctive therapies, such as laser‐ and light‐based therapies, have become more commonly used in the management of HS. Different modalities are used for specific purposes, such as to target the hair follicle or sebaceous gland, for bacterial load reduction and for tissue debulking . There appears to be RCT evidence behind using follicular laser ablation for early stage disease .…”

The 3rd Annual Symposium on Hidradenitis Suppurativa Advances (SHSA) took place on 12‐14 October 2018 at the Women's College Hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This symposium was a joint meeting of the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (HSF) founded in the USA and the Canadian Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (CHSF). This cross‐disciplinary meeting with experts from around the world was an opportunity to discuss the most recent advances in the study of hidradenitis suppurativa pathogenesis, epidemiology, classification, scoring systems, radiologic diagnosis, treatment approaches and psychologic assessment. Two special sessions this year were HS as a systemic disease and HS management guidelines. There were focused workshops on wound healing and ultrasound. There were two sessions primarily for patients and their families in the HS School programme: One workshop focused on mindfulness, and the second involved discussion among clinicians and patients about various disease aspects and the latest management. To facilitate networking between clinical and research experts and those early in their career, a mentoring breakfast was held.

“…Hyperkeratosis and hyperplasia of the follicular epithelium result in the occlusion and dilatation of hair follicles and apocrine glands [3]. Recently, a weakness of the hair follicle-apocrine junction unit has been shown to promote the rupture of the hair follicle epithelium with subsequent spilling of keratin, sebum products, hair, and bacteria into the surrounding dermis.…”

Background: The role of bacterial colonization in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) lesions is poorly understood. To date, data on the related microbial profile and especially on bacterial resistance rates are scarce. Methods: The results of bacterial cultures and susceptibility patterns of the isolated microorganisms obtained from deep portions of HS lesions from patients who underwent surgery at our HS Centre between 2010 and 2015 were retrospectively evaluated. Results: Analyses of 113 bacterial samples from 113 HS patients revealed bacterial growth in 95 samples (84.1%). Polymicrobial growth was found in 51 samples (45.1%). Coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus were the most commonly isolated bacteria, followed by Proteus mirabilis and Escherichia coli. Data on susceptibility testing were available for 68 samples, which yielded 129 isolates. The isolated strains were primarily resistant to penicillin G, followed by erythromycin, clindamycin and ampicillin. The highest effectiveness against isolates was observed for fosfomycin, imipenem, fluoroquinolones (moxifloxacin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin), and cotrimoxazole. Conclusions: Our findings on bacterial species and their topographical distribution revealed that the microbial flora in HS lesions reflects commensal flora of the skin. Due to the susceptibility rate and immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, cotrimoxazole may represent an alternative antibiotic agent and should be considered for therapy in HS patients.

“…As a preventive and treatment option, laser‐assisted hair reduction may be utilized for HS as well. Also, photodynamic therapy (PDT) was introduced in the past few years for the management of HS with promising results . A surgical option includes tissue debulking with the CO2 laser (10 600‐nm wavelength).…”

The 2nd Annual Symposium on Hidradenitis Suppurativa Advances (SHSA) took place on 03–05 November 2017 in Detroit, Michigan, USA. This symposium was a joint meeting of the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (HSF Inc.) founded in the USA, and the Canadian Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (CHSF). This was the second annual meeting of the SHSA with experts from different disciplines arriving from North America, Europe and Australia, in a joint aim to discuss most recent innovations, practical challenges and potential solutions to issues related in the management and care of Hidradenitis Suppurativa patients. The last session involved clinicians, patients and their families in an effort to educate them more about the disease.
