Abstract:
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) wounds are complex and have unique characteristics that complicate dressing selection. Proper wound care assists with wound healing and contributes to improved quality of life. Ideal dressings are comfortable while maintaining a wound-healing environment. Antimicrobial dressings should target dysbiosis and biofilms. Absorptive dressings are needed for control of exudate. Pain control is best achieved with nonadhesive dressings and contact layers. Agents targeting anaerobic bacteria are effective at odor reduction. Surgery may be indicated for management of refractory wounds. Overall, there is a need for increased research and education on both routine and postsurgical wound care in HS.
