Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an extremely distressing dermatologic disorder. It is also difficult to treat. Often the diagnosis is not made until many years have passed, and all the while, patients suffer, developing painful abscesses, sinus tracts draining pus, and scarring. This reference book is completely devoted to hidradenitis suppurativa risk factors (genetics, lifestyle, sex, body mass index, etc.) to inform an earlier diagnosis so treatment can be instituted sooner, thus being proactive in reducing chronicity and complications of the disease." ©Doody's Review Service, 2023, Patricia Wong, MD (Private Practice) Doody's Score: 4 stars!
