British Association of Dermatologists guidelines for the management of hidradenitis suppurativa (acne inversa) 2018

The overall objective of the guideline is to provide up-to-date, evidence-based recommendations for the management of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The document aims to:
• offer an appraisal of all relevant literature up to July 2018, focusing on any key developments;
• address important, practical clinical questions relating to the primary guideline objective;
• provide guideline recommendations and, if appropriate, research recommendations.

This guideline does not cover management of the non-HS elements of syndromes such as PASH (pyoderma gangrenosum, acne and HS) and PAPASH (pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, psoriasis, arthritis and suppurative hidradenitis). Nearly all the evidence underpinning the guideline relates to studies in adults.
