Hidradenitis suppurativa is a common inflammatory skin disease that results in draining skin lesions and therefore requires wound care. HS is associated with pilonidal cyst and its surgical care requires wound care considerations as well. In this session, a dermatologist and a surgeon will discuss cases of HS and pilonidal cyst and review what is know and what is new about diagnosis, management, and wound care.
