Hidradenitis suppurativa and follicular occlusion syndrome: where is the pathogenetic link?
The follicular occlusion tetrad (FOT) complex encompasses several entities (hidradenitis suppurativa, acne conglobata, dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, and pilonidal cyst) that share common clinical features, risk factors, and pathophysiology. Follicular occlusion is a crucial triggering mechanism in the etiology in each of these disorders, leading to development of distinctive skin lesion such as deep-seated nodules, abscesses, comedones, and draining sinuses, often with accompanying scaring.

Ectopic presentation of hidradenitis suppurativa
We present a case report of a 66-year-old patient with painful symmetric ulcerated plaques on the posterior surface of the ankles and lower lip. We further performed a systematic review on ectopic HS by conducting an electronic literature search to identify relevant manuscripts. Inclusion criteria included English language and full texts only using Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Database.We found 22 eligible papers reporting on a total of 58 patients.

Laser and Intense Pulsed Light in the Treatment of Hidradenitis suppurativa
Treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) requires a combination of medical, surgical, and lifestyle interventions. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and lasers have been reported as useful. The aim of this review is to find the evidence supporting IPL and laser treatment of HS and provide guidance for the management of specific HS lesions. (Source: Clinics in Dermatology)

Hidradenitis suppurativa perspectives during the COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic created a new set of challenges regarding the care of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Access to safe, timely medical care and the use of immunosuppressive therapy were central topics of concern for patients and providers. In addition, the incidence and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa were critical to examine during the evolving pandemic to provide recommendations for patients to make informed decisions about their disease and its management.

The role of imaging technologies in the diagnosis of hidradenitis suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory, recurrent, and debilitating disease of the hair follicle. It presents with painful, deep-seated, inflamed lesions, such as nodules, abscesses, sinus tracts, and fistulas, generally located in the main folds.Clinical severity assessment alone can be reductive; non-invasive skin imaging technologies, such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, medical infrared thermography, computed tomography, and positron-emission tomography, provide subclinical anatomical and functional details.

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).

Assessment Tools and Phenotype Classification for Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a heterogeneous chronic relapsing skin disease. Several assessment tools are used to assess disease severity and to classify disease phenotype; however, no consensus currently exists. This review evaluates the various assessment tools and phenotypes, assessing their validity and reliability. Numerous assessment tools and phenotype classifications have been proposed for identifying various subtypes within the HS disease spectrum. Each has a with different purpose, such as use in daily practice or in clinical trial settings. (Source: Clinics in Dermatology)

The genetic aspects of hidradenitis suppurativa
The genetic aspects have a substantial role in HS pathogenesis. A positive family history of HS occurs in about one-third of HS cases and is significantly higher in patients with early onset of the disease. Recent twin studies have shown a high heritability in HS, fortifying the importance of genetic factors in disease pathogenesis. Based on existing knowledge on the genomics of HS, the disease can be categorized as familial, sporadic, syndromic HS, and "HS plus" associated with other syndromes. (Source: Clinics in Dermatology)

The Ocular and Periocular Involvement of Psoriasis
Ocular manifestations of psoriasis are generally underrepresented in the literature and can often be missed by clinicians. Appreciation of eye involvement in psoriasis is especially important for dermatologists and ophthalmologists who may be closely involved with treating afflicted patients. Depending on the involved site and severity of the condition, signs and symptoms of ocular psoriasis can vary from asymptomatic erythema to debilitating scarring and vision loss. Treatment is critical to prevent disease progression and to improve the quality of life for these patients. (Source: Clinics in Dermatology)

Routine eyelid care for those without dermatitis
The eye is a unique structural and functional anatomic unit of the face and requires specific care and attention. Often, dermatologists are not familiar with the routine needs of the eyelid area. Despite evidence showing that lid hygiene may serve as an important supplement to therapeutic management of eyelid disorders, lid hygiene is often overlooked. Ophthalmologists and dermatologists have an important role to play in educating patients on the importance of proper eyelid hygiene and ensuring patient compliance. (Source: Clinics in Dermatology)
