She presents on Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) and various non-biologic treatment strategies. Dr. Aleshin covers practical approaches to managing HS flare-ups, long-term management considerations, and the role of antibiotics in treatment.

Takeaways

  • The pathogenesis of HS is multifactorial, requiring a comprehensive treatment approach.
  • Treatment stacking often involves combining medical, procedural, and lifestyle interventions.
  • Topical therapies like chlorhexidine and benzoyl peroxide are commonly recommended, but alternatives exist.
  • Systemic antibiotics are frequently used for managing HS flares.
  • Hormonal therapies, including oral contraceptives and spironolactone, can be effective for female patients with HS.
  • Metformin may be beneficial for patients with metabolic dysfunction associated with HS.
  • Isotretinoin is not a first-line treatment for HS due to mixed results.
  • Botulinum toxin can help reduce sweating and inflammation in HS patients.
  • Combination antibiotic therapy, particularly clindamycin and rifampin, shows high efficacy but has relapse risks.
  • Urtipenem is a powerful antibiotic reserved for severe HS cases as a bridge to surgery or biologics.
