Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is one of the most distressing conditions observed in dermatology and has a substantial negative effect on the quality of life of affected persons. The aim of this study was to evaluate different treatment strategies in patients with HS. In a retrospective cohort, all patients with HS (July 2015 to March 2017) were reviewed.
