Diagnostic Delay in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Still an Unsolved Problem.

Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a diagnostic delay of 7-10 years. A later diagnosis is associated with development of local sequelae and systemic comorbidities, as well as a reduced response to medical treatment. The aim of this study was to analyze the time required for HS diagnosis and investigate factors associated with diagnostic delay.

[Guidelines for the Management of Patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa].

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory dermatosis characterized by the presence of inflammatory nodules and abscesses in the apocrine gland-rich areas that may progress to suppurative fistulas and scars. Despite being considered one of the dermatological conditions with the greatest impact on patient quality of life, it is often underdiagnosed. Hidradenitis suppurativa, especially in its severe forms, is associated with numerous comorbidities, so a holistic and multidisciplinary perspective is crucial for the management of these patients.

Intermammary Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Considerations on a Unique Presentation.

Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a potentially disabling chronic inflammatory disease. The intermammary location, not clearly specified in the usual phenotypic classifications, entails significant functional and cosmetic compromise.

Case Presentation: Eleven cases of predominantly intermammary disease with multiple fistulization and disfiguring scarring were observed at our Department between January 2016 and March 2020.

Predicting incomplete basal cell carcinoma excisions - a large multidisciplinary retrospective analysis in a tertiary center.

Surgical treatment of basal cell carcinomas is often performed by physicians with different surgical backgrounds. Collecting data from different surgical departments would better reflect their real-life surgical management. To identify the rate, recurrence risk, and predictive factors accordingly to their relative contribution for an incomplete basal cell carcinoma excision in a large multidisciplinary real-life setting Retrospective cohort study of 2305 surgically treated lesions in different departments of a tertiary center.

Multiple miliary osteoma cutis: a comprehensive review and update of the literature.

Multiple miliary osteoma cutis consists of heterotopic foci of bone tissue in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Patients usually present with multiple, asymptomatic facial papules of several millimetres in diameter which cause distress regarding their cosmetic appearance. The condition is described as rare, as only a few cases have been reported since its first description in 1864 by Virchow.

Trichloroacetic acid (80%) as a chemical debridement method for chronic venous leg ulcers-A pilot study.

Debridement is essential for the optimal care of venous leg ulcers. Several debridement methods with different limitations may be deployed. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is used for several dermatological purposes.

Chronic leg ulcers disrupt patients' lives: A study of leg ulcer-related life changes and quality of life.

Chronic leg ulcers have a profound impact on patients' physical, functional, and psychological status, which may result in several life changes and a significant decline in quality of life (QoL). We aimed to study what changed in patients' lives after developing a chronic leg ulcer, including QoL, patients' comprehension of the disease and related feelings. A cross-sectional study, using an anonymous questionnaire and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) was performed.
