Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic created a new set of challenges regarding the care of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Access to safe, timely medical care and the use of immunosuppressive therapy were central topics of concern for patients and providers. In addition, the incidence and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with HS were critical to examine during the evolving pandemic and to provide recommendations for patients for makinginformed decisions about their disease and its management. Another consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic was the role of the internet to connect individuals with HS with each other and experts in the field. This is a unique contribution that collectively examines the perspectives of HS medical care and support during the COVID-19 pandemic.
