Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory cutaneous disease that often leads to decreased quality of life. Prior research assessing stress and discrimination related to stigmatization of those with HS is limited. The aim of this study was to examine the association between HS and the following factors related to psychosocial well-being: stress, discrimination, and loneliness. We performed secondary analysis of participants 18 years and older registered in the National Institutes of Health\'s All of Us Research Program in March 2024. The study sample was limited to individuals who had completed ≥ 1 of 4 psychosocial well-being surveys. Among 1,352 individuals with HS, 135 were included in the sample. Among 208,290 individuals without HS, 56,902 were included. The following surveys assessed loneliness, stress, perceived discrimination in everyday settings, and perceived discrimination in medical settings, respectively: the UCLA Loneliness Scale, Cohen Perceived Stress Scale, Everyday Discrimination Scale, and Discrimination in Medical Settings Scale. The association between HS and survey scores was modeled using multivariable linear regression adjusted for self-reported sex, self-reported race and ethnicity, age, and income. In an unadjusted model, those with HS reported a significantly higher degree of stress (MeanHS (SD) = 21.5 (4.74); Meannon-HS (SD) = 19.8 (3.98); p < 0.001), discrimination in everyday settings (MeanHS (SD) = 18.9 (8.16); Meannon-HS (SD) = 16.0 (7.06); p < 0.0001), and discrimination in healthcare settings (MeanHS (SD) = 1.77 (0.64); Meannon-HS (SD) = 1.56 (0.62); p < 0.001). After adjusting for sex, race, age, and income, the association between HS and discrimination in healthcare settings was non-significant; however, associations between HS and increased levels of perceived stress and everyday discrimination remained significant. Low survey completion rates and demographic differences between those who did and did not complete the study surveys may limit generalizability of results. Findings suggest that those with HS may benefit from regular screening for psychosocial well-being and provision of support resources.

BACKGROUND: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a painful, chronic inflammatory skin condition. Patients experience exacerbations, leading them to present to the emergency department (ED) for incision and drainage. Direct injection of local anesthetic into these lesions is extremely painful and seldom provides adequate anesthesia. A modified method of the PECS II block can provide anesthesia to the skin of the axilla, making management of HS much less painful for the patient. We performed a bilateral modified PECS II block on a patient requiring incision and drainage of HS lesions in both axillae. She subsequently required no local anesthetic for the procedure.
CONCLUSIONS: The second injection of the traditional PECS II block involves the deposition of anesthetic in the fascial plane between the pectoralis minor muscle and the serratus anterior muscles. This injection targets the lateral branch of the intercostal nerves, which provide sensory innervation to the axilla.
CONCLUSIONS: A modified technique of the PECS II block, in which only the second injection is performed, is a potentially effective method for anesthetizing the axilla of patients with HS prior to incision and drainage.

Neutrophilic dermatoses are a broadly heterogeneous group of inflammatory skin disorders. This article reviews 5 conditions: amicrobial pustulosis of the folds, aseptic abscess syndrome, Behçet disease, neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis, and pyostomatitis vegetans-pyodermatitis vegetans.The authors include up-to-date information about their epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinicopathologic features, diagnosis, and management.

BACKGROUND: Although many individual cases and small series of toxic erythema of chemotherapy (TEC) have been described, the full spectrum of findings is not well understood.
OBJECTIVE: To provide a comprehensive review of the clinical and histopathologic features of TEC with an emphasis on novel histopathologic findings.
METHODS: We searched our electronic medical record for \"toxic erythema of chemotherapy\" or \"neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis.\" Fifty-six cases meeting clinical and histopathologic criteria were identified. The electronic medical record and accompanying hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides were retrospectively reviewed.
RESULTS: The clinical findings were heterogeneous but included classic presentations such as intertriginous eruptions (34%) and acral erythema (25%). The most common histopathologic features were apoptotic keratinocytes (95%), basal vacuolar change (91%), and epithelial dysmaturation (79%). Eccrine squamous syringometaplasia was seen in over half of the cases (33/56; 59%), whereas neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis was uncommon (16%). Interestingly, many cases showed prominent interstitial histiocytes (55%). Other novel findings included irregular orthohyperkeratosis (23%), irregular epidermal hyperplasia (14%), and acantholysis (9%).
CONCLUSIONS: As a retrospective study, it is subject to information bias.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest reported series of TEC. In addition to confirming previously reported features, we identify novel histopathologic findings to add to the spectrum of TEC.

Hidradenitis suppurative is a chronic, refractory and recurrent dermatological disease. The disease should be managed by targeted surgical intervention on the basis of medical treatment. Currently, the surgical treatment methods include local treatments like incision and drainage, unroofing, laser therapy, intense pulsed light therapy, photodynamic therapy, as well as complete lesion resection such as skin-tissue saving excision with electrosurgical peeling and extended excision. The clearance range, therapeutic effect, postoperative complications, and recurrence risk vary among the different treatment methods. Local treatments cause less damage, but have high recurrence rates, and are mainly for mild to moderate hidradenitis suppurative patients. Complete lesion resections have relatively low recurrence rates, but may bring more surgical injuries, and postoperative reconstructions are needed, which are mainly for moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurative patients. In this article, the surgical treatment principles and various surgical treatment methods of hidradenitis suppurative are reviewed, to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease in clinical practice.
化脓性汗腺炎具有慢性、难治性、复发性的特点，其治疗应在内科治疗的基础上有针对性地联合外科干预。目前，应用于临床的外科治疗方式包括切开引流术、去顶术、激光治疗、强脉冲光治疗、光动力疗法等局部治疗，以及保留皮肤组织的电切剥离术、扩大切除术等完整的病损切除治疗。各种治疗方式的清除范围、治疗效果、术后并发症及复发风险各不相同。其中，局部治疗对患者的损伤较小，但复发率高，主要适用于轻中度患者；病损切除治疗复发率较低，但手术损伤大、术后涉及创面重建，主要适用于中重度患者。本文综述了化脓性汗腺炎的外科治疗原则及各种外科治疗方式，以期为该病的规范诊治提供参考。.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a devasting autoimmune cutaneous disease that affects the hair follicles and can clinically present palpable nodules, abscesses, and tunnels (fistulas), usually in the intertriginous regions. It has been widely reported that color Doppler ultrasound can detect subclinical abnormalities and stage the severity of the disease more accurately. Nevertheless, the ultrasound diagnostic criteria were reported with 15 MHz 10 years ago, and now it is possible to detect early anatomical abnormalities in HS using 70 MHz. Thus, an update of the ultrasonographic diagnostic criteria is needed. The most widely used sonographic staging of severity of HS (SOS-HS) includes the number of affected regions, besides counting the number of key lesions like pseudocysts, fluid collections, and tunnels; however, the total number of affected regions may fit better in an activity scoring. Furthermore, a high number of tunnels or communicated tunnels can complicate the management and may indicate an even more urgent treatment, which should be considered in the severity classification. To date, no hidradenitis scoring of activity has been reported in the literature, making it difficult to track the degree of inflammation under treatment objectively. Therefore, two new scorings are proposed. The first is an updated sonographic scoring of severity called modified SOS-HS (mSOS-HS), and the second is an activity ultrasound scoring of HS called US-HSA. Both staging systems can provide better anatomical information for discriminating the categories and, therefore, selecting more appropriate treatments and supporting research and clinical trials by giving more objective anatomical tools in real-world settings.
