Hydradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a highly complex disease with varying severity and many treatment options are proposed. The fact that the disease is related to more than one discipline and lack of scientific controlled studies makes it difficult to conduct meta-analysis and to prepare guidelines. HS occurs in adults and ranges between 0.03-4.1%. According to the incidence of inflammation caused by hair follicle, inguinal region and thigh inner parts, pubic and perineal, scrotal, vulvar, perianal, axillary region, breast gap and bottom and gluteal regions are affected respectively. HS is a disease that has a negative effect on quality of life and its complications are common. There are many environmental factors and personal behaviors affecting the exacerbation of the disease. Various scoring systems have been developed in order to evaluate the clinical classification, severity measurement and treatment efficiency of the disease. Surgical and medical methods, preventive and supportive treatments should be considered in the treatment of the disease. HS treatment has the characteristics that require the cooperation of dermatology and surgery disciplines. A guide is needed to evaluate the clinical, histopathological, laboratory findings and treatment methods of the disease for Turkey. This guide has been created with the collaboration of the team of experienced dermatologists and surgeons.
