Episode Description

The Derms on Drugs get schooled on Hidradenitis Suppurativa by Dr. Chris Sayed from the University of North Carolina.  This will be one of the most practically useful sessions you've ever heard as we go way beyond the basics - we go way beyond basics like the biologics that don't work all that well.
We'll get into a bunch of questions you probably haven't hear discussed with HS before:
- What's the window of opportunity in HS and how do you keep it open?
- Is there any such thing as mild HS?
- What antibiotics actually work for HS and how do you use them?
- Do ancillary treatments like spironolactone, metronidazole and oral roflumilast actually move the needle in a meaningful way?
- If you're going to learn one surgical technique to really help your HS patients which procedure should you pick and how should you learn it?
- What will be the likely role of JAK Inhibitors in HS?
- Is it actually possible to get patients with long term, scarring severe HS better?
