Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory skin condition primarily affecting areas with apocrine glands. It commonly manifests as painful nodules, abscesses, and sinus tracts, significantly impacting the patient's well-being. In this report, we discuss a case of a 32-year-old pregnant woman with Hurley stage III hidradenitis suppurativa who had undergone surgical reconstruction of the vulva before conception. The patient underwent a cesarian section and received topical treatment for her lesions near the genitalia. The importance of early identification, a collaborative approach involving multiple specialists, and individualized treatment strategies for managing this debilitating condition during pregnancy are emphasized in this case study.
