Abstract:
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a complex disease that manifests with nodules, abscesses, and tunnels in the intertriginous regions of the body. Symptoms often begin after adrenarche and may progress to severe disease with draining tunnels and permanent scars, leading to a significant reduction in quality of life and mental health. Diagnostic delays are common, increasing the risk of disease progression. Timely diagnosis and effective management are essential to the prevention of complications in the pediatric and adolescent population. This review will cover the currently available information on pathophysiology, risk factors, presentation, diagnosis, and management of HS in this population.
