Abstract

We sought to determine quality of life impairment in hidradenitis suppurativa. Questionnaires were administered to 61 patients. Quality of life impact in hidradenitis was much greater than that of several other dermatologic conditions. This hospital-based population may not be representative. Hidradenitis is one of the most distressing conditions observed in dermatology.
