Summary

Verneuil’s disease or hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory cutaneous condition affecting primarily the areas of the body abundant in apocrine glands, most commonly the axillary, inguinal, as well as the anogenital regions. The frequent relapses and the overall chronic course of the disease is believed to greatly impact the quality of life, with a pronounced influence on the social and professional activity of the patient. Since the response to treatment and the progression of HS are different depending on the area affected, in this review, we aim to summarize the management of genitoperineal HS.
