Earwax of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa: A retrospective study.

CONCLUSIONS: Although the etiology of HS is unknown, our survey indicated that HS in apocrine gland-bearing skin, such as the axillary and anogenital areas, may be associated with wet earwax. As this study was conducted in a limited clinical setting, a nationwide, multicenter survey is warranted to clarify the clinical characteristics of HS in Japan. PMID: 31775210 [PubMed]
