__________________________________________________
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a disorder of the terminal follicular epithelium in
apocrine gland-bearing skin. It is a chronic, disabling disorder that progresses,
often causing keloids, contractures, and immobility. It is characterized by
comedone-like follicular occlusion, chronic and relapsing inflammation,
mucopurulent discharge, and progressive scarring.
Arthropathy associated with hidradenitis may be present. Typical presentation
includes nodules and sinus tracts (inflamed or noninflamed), abscesses, and
scarring found in the axilla, genitofemoral area, perineum, gluteal area, and
inframammary area in women.
Recommended treatments include antibiotics, steroids, retinoids, dapsone, and
anti-tumor necrosis factor agents. A dermatology consultation should also be
considered.
First-line treatment is a 12‑week course of an oral tetracycline (Sumycin) such as
doxycycline. For patients who do not respond to doxycycline, the next
recommended step is a combination of twice-daily clindamycin (Cleocin) and
,rifampicin (Rifadin) for 10-12 weeks. If treatment fails, acitretin (Soriatane, for
males and nonfertile females) or dapsone (Aczone) may be considered by a
dermatologist. In patients with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa,
adalimumab (Humira) may possibly be considered.

An understanding of different cultural preferences leads to cultural competence
in healthcare. Some patients may value traditional culture and preferences as it
relates to healthcare. These individual preferences should be included in the
interview and treatment plan for patients.
Traditionally, the American Indian culture values a holistic approach to health
care integrating the person, lifestyle, environment, family, and religion. Patients
adhering to these traditional cultural practices often feel that illness is due to a
lack of harmony with the physical body, mind, spirit, and emotions. Patients may
seek care from western medicine for specific ailments while also consulting with
traditional healers for spiritual guidance.
Healthcare providers should seek to understand relevant cultural factors and
assess each individual's healthcare literacy in order to provide culturally
competent care.
