This procedure is non-invasive, which is especially important in paediatric patients or in those cases where malignant nature must be ruled out. <\/p>\n Ultrasound has also proven useful for detecting early signs of inflammation and vascular lesions, as well as for guiding intralesional corticosteroid injections.

In fact, Crohn\u2019s disease can present with skin lesions similar to those seen in hidradenitis patients.<\/p>\n Diabetes<\/strong><\/p>\n Patients with hidradenitis seem to have a slightly higher risk of developing insulin resistance and diabetes, a phenomenon also seen in patients with psoriasis.<\/p>\n Abnormal lipid profile<\/strong><\/p>\n Between 3% and 10% of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa also have LDL cholesterol<\/a> (\u201cbad\u201d cholesterol) and triglyceride levels above recommended values, making them more vulnerable to certain cardiovascular disorders.<\/p>\n Metabolic syndrome<\/strong><\/p>\n Metabolic syndrome refers to the combination of pro-inflammatory factors including excess abdominal fat, insulin resistance, hypertension and atherosclerosis. This syndrome increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, and it is more common in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa. <\/p>\n Cardiovascular diseases<\/strong><\/p>\n Patients with hidradenitis have a higher risk of myocardial infarction or stroke. This is very similar to what occurs in patients with psoriasis. In fact, this factor is investigated and monitored in the Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n Psoriasis and Inflammatory Skin Diseases Unit. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_text admin_label=”S4T2 – Bloque texto con subt\u00edtulos ajustados – Margen: 0 sup, 20 base” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”e44119ac-9b41-475f-8976-35bbbed7d3b4″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Management of hidradenitis suppurativa is closely related to early diagnosis.

At the Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n Hidradenitis Suppurativa Unit, we offer all of them, and the dermatologists in the unit can prescribe them individually or in combination depending on each case. <\/p>\n Medications<\/strong><\/p>\n There are multiple treatment lines depending on severity. At the Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n Hidradenitis Suppurativa Unit, we offer all of them, and the dermatologists in the unit can prescribe them individually or in combination depending on each case. <\/p>\n The first line of treatment aims to control bacterial infection and reduce the inflammatory activity involved in the formation and accumulation of pus within the characteristic abscesses.<\/p>\n In addition, medications are often prescribed to reduce pain, swelling and progression of abscesses and nodules. These drugs may be administered orally or, depending on the case, injected directly into lesions. In such cases, Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n specialists use ultrasound so that the dermatologist can deliver the medication precisely to the target area. <\/p>\n Finally, the specialist may consider prescribing other medications to control associated conditions such as acne, or aggravating factors related to the patient\u2019s immune or hormonal activity.<\/p>\n Advanced treatments for hidradenitis<\/strong><\/p>\n There are next-generation therapies designed to act locally and selectively on certain cellular markers involved in inflammatory diseases. In hidradenitis, there are therapeutic options that block specific proteins that play a key role in chronic inflammatory processes and are also involved in the activity of certain skin cells responsible for keratin production. These treatments may help reduce existing lesions and prevent new ones from developing. <\/p>\n At present, Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n specialists are investigating the potential benefits of some therapies used in psoriasis treatment to control hidradenitis, as both diseases share many inflammatory mechanisms and pathways. This may allow patients to benefit from similar therapeutic approaches. <\/p>\n Surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n Surgery in hidradenitis patients is used to drain larger abscesses that do not drain spontaneously and cause significant discomfort and pain. In addition to removing purulent material, the skin and structures involved in abscess formation are excised, particularly when lesions are extensive and tend to recur in the same location. These interventions are also used to repair fistulas and\/or improve the scars left by more severe lesions. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/grupopedrojaen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/clinica-hidrosadenitis-supurativa-001.jpg” alt=”Specialist clinic for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa in Madrid” title_text=”Specialist clinic for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa in Madrid” admin_label=”Imagen S4imagen2 – Bloque arriba y texto abajo, Margen sup 50 y base 40. 1208 x 460.” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”e6a78824-5551-4c15-a6a8-d5c35eef3968″ animation=”fade_in” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”S4T2 – Bloque texto con subt\u00edtulos ajustados – Margen: 0 sup, 20 base” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”e44119ac-9b41-475f-8976-35bbbed7d3b4″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Below you will find frequently asked questions, patient advice, authorship and references for the information provided on this page.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Frequently asked questions about hidradenitis suppurativa” content_last_edited=”off|desktop” admin_label=”S4conmutador1 – Margen top \/ base: 30, relleno topo \/ base: 25.” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”340b8c79-26d7-4fad-8112-9bf37cf22d23″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Is hidradenitis suppurativa contagious? <\/strong><\/p>\n No. Although the characteristic abscesses and nodules may become infected, hidradenitis is not an infectious disease and therefore cannot be transmitted to other people. <\/p>\n Is familial hidradenitis always inherited?<\/strong><\/p>\n No. It is true that familial hidradenitis suppurativa is influenced by genetic factors. However, this means that direct descendants of affected patients have a higher probability of developing the condition, not that they will necessarily do so. <\/p>\n Does hidradenitis suppurativa worsen or improve during pregnancy?<\/strong><\/p>\n Hormonal profile has a decisive influence on the course of hidradenitis suppurativa, so it is common to wonder what will happen during pregnancy. In general terms, and according to the available scientific evidence, hidradenitis suppurativa improves in a significant proportion of pregnant patients, and many affected women experience no changes. <\/p>\n Research also shows that pregnant patients whose hidradenitis worsens tend to have greater weight gain, more occlusion in skin folds and increased friction from clothing. In addition, increased adipose tissue contributes to worsening inflammatory markers, which in turn aggravates hidradenitis. <\/p>\n Finally, there appears to be a higher prevalence of pregnancy-related conditions in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa, such as gestational diabetes or pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy).<\/p>\n Can I breastfeed if I have hidradenitis suppurativa? <\/strong><\/p>\n Patients with hidradenitis localised on the breasts may be forced to stop breastfeeding, depending on the severity of their lesions. However, they should consult a dermatologist specialising in hidradenitis to assess possible treatments and alternatives that may allow breastfeeding if the mother wishes. <\/p>\n Is there a diet that cures hidradenitis? <\/strong><\/p>\n Some research has explored the relationship between certain foods or nutrients and hidradenitis suppurativa. The influence of dairy products, sugars and simple carbohydrates, gluten, wheat, brewer\u2019s yeast, etc. has been studied, but conclusions are contradictory and evidence is not sufficiently robust, as studies often involve small numbers of patients or have methodological limitations. <\/p>\n For this reason, hidradenitis specialists support a generally healthy diet that helps maintain weight (or reduce it if necessary) and do not recommend adding or eliminating any specific food to improve the course of this condition. Likewise, they do not propose any specific diet (ketogenic, paleo, gluten-free, etc.) for hidradenitis patients, as there is currently no scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness. <\/p>\n Is there any vitamin supplement that improves hidradenitis?<\/strong><\/p>\n Almost all chronic inflammatory diseases (including hidradenitis) are associated with vitamin D deficiency. However, there is no evidence that hidradenitis suppurativa improves by increasing vitamin D intake through diet or supplementation.<\/p>\n Some hidradenitis specialists prescribe zinc gluconate to selected patients, as some studies have found an association between this condition and zinc deficiency. However, given that the evidence is very limited, this is used as an adjuvant measure and never as a primary treatment line. <\/p>\n Can I use alternative therapies or natural products to improve my hidradenitis?<\/strong><\/p>\n At present, there is no scientific evidence supporting the use of herbal preparations (tea tree oil, aloe vera, Chinese herbs, etc.), homeopathic products or alternative therapies (acupuncture, reiki, etc.) to cure or improve the course of hidradenitis suppurativa.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Advice for patients” admin_label=”S4conmutador1 – Margen top \/ base: 30, relleno topo \/ base: 25.” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”340b8c79-26d7-4fad-8112-9bf37cf22d23″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As described, hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic disease: it has treatment, but currently no cure. Patients therefore need to learn to live with the condition and adopt certain measures and recommendations to control it and minimise the impact on quality of life. <\/p>\n Consult a hidradenitis suppurativa specialist as early as possible<\/strong> <\/p>\n Hidradenitis suppurativa has a negative impact on both physical and mental health. Delayed diagnosis leads to worsening symptoms and sequelae, as well as a significant reduction in quality of life. Early diagnosis is therefore essential to start effective treatment, improve disease course and prevent the most severe complications. <\/p>\n Control weight and do not smoke <\/strong><\/p>\n Smoking and increased fatty tissue associated with overweight and obesity are pro-inflammatory factors. This, in turn, promotes hidradenitis flare-ups and worsens prognosis. For this reason, one of the first recommendations patients receive is to adopt a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and physical activity to avoid weight gain, and to stop smoking if they have this harmful habit. <\/p>\n Avoid tight clothing and synthetic fabrics<\/strong> <\/p>\n Overly tight clothing increases friction and occlusion on the skin\u2014two triggers for hidradenitis flare-ups. Likewise, synthetic fabrics or wool, which promote irritation, sweat accumulation and itching, are not ideal for hidradenitis patients. Patients should preferably choose linen, cotton or similar breathable fabrics. <\/p>\n Laser hair removal: ask your hidradenitis specialist<\/strong> <\/p>\n The dermatologist specialising in hidradenitis may recommend laser hair removal to eliminate the hair follicle where abscesses often form. This option can be very effective in patients who develop recurrent abscesses in the same area. <\/p>\n Avoid stress <\/strong><\/p>\n Emotional stress and anxiety are not direct causes of hidradenitis suppurativa. However, as with other dermatological conditions such as rosacea, acne, atopic dermatitis or psoriasis, they can trigger flare-ups and worsen disease progression. For this reason, hidradenitis specialists recommend managing these factors as much as possible. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Authorship and references” admin_label=”S4conmutador1 – Margen top \/ base: 30, relleno topo \/ base: 25.” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”340b8c79-26d7-4fad-8112-9bf37cf22d23″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The content of this page has been prepared by the Communication Department and the Medical Team of Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n, in line with our editorial commitment<\/a> to ensuring the accuracy and up-to-date nature of the information provided.<\/p>\n References on hidradenitis suppurativa:<\/p>\n 1.
