Sažetak

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory
skin disease primarily affecting apocrine
gland-rich areas of the body and presenting with
painful nodules, abscesses, sinus tracts, and scarring
(1). HS is a defect of the follicular epithelium; some
have therefore called for the naming the disease acne
inversa instead of hidradenitis suppurativa. The term
acne inversa links the pathogenesis to acne and reflects
the fact that it is an expression of follicular occlusion
in localizations inverse to acne vulgaris (2).
