Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a devastating disease that imparts enormous health-related quality of life (QoL) impairment. 1 A recent retrospective analysis of a heterogeneous population-based patient sample reported the US prevalence of HS to be 0.1%. 2 However, under-reporting due to delayed access to care, under-recognition, misdiagnosis, and delayed diagnosis may falsely lower the true prevalence. Delayed HS diagnosis and fragmented care lead to patient frustration and distrust of the healthcare system. HS patients also have increased utilization of high-cost settings, such as the emergency department and inpatient units. 3 HS is a complex disease with multiple comorbidities4 and thus requires specialized and comprehensive care. The authors direct hidradenitis suppurativa specialty clinics at major US academic medical centers. Herein we propose strategies for a practicing dermatologist to optimize clinical encounters with HS patients, as well as for dermatologists interested in developing an HS specialty clinic (Fig. 1).
