HIDRADENITIS SUPPURATIVA

Course overview

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory skin disease characterized by swollen, painful lesions on the axillae, groin, and other areas of the body that typically have large numbers of apocrine (sweat) glands. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of HS, including its clinical presentation, symptoms, and treatment, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
