Abstract
Nielsen et al.1 recently highlighted the need for additional studies detailing hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) pain before giving specific treatment recommendations. Few studies have evaluated HS-specific pain using patients' own words and this study was designed to address this gap. A descriptive understanding of different elements of the pain experience will aid dermatologists, pain management specialists and health psychologists in the comprehensive, interdisciplinary assessment and treatment of HS.
