Hidradenitis suppurativa from the typical patient to the new clinical phenotypes

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a clinically heterogeneous disease with a broad spectrum of clinical features. Attempts to classify HS into distinct clinical phenotypes could lead to a better understanding of the condition and the development of individualized treatment protocols. We summarize some of the existing phenotype classifications and present our experience with 250 patients and their many clinical presentations.We have emphasized the pathophysiologic and clinical overlap between hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and pyoderma gangrenosum (PG).
