Abstract
Objective:
We sought to determine quality of life impairment in hidradenitis suppurativa.
Methods:
Questionnaires were administered to 61 patients.
Results:
Quality of life impact in hidradenitis was much greater than that of several other dermatologic conditions.
Limitation:
This hospital-based population may not be representative.
Conclusion:
Hidradenitis is one of the most distressing conditions observed in dermatology.
