A pilot study of unemployment in Hidradenitis Suppurativa Patients in Denmark

Abstract

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory and relapsing skin disease, characterized by repeated outbreaks of painful inflamed nodules in the apocrine gland-bearing regions (armpits, genital area, groin, breasts and perianal region). These nodules can progress to abscesses, sinus tracts (tunnels) and scarring. (1) The estimated prevalence is 1-4% worldwide and HS is approximately three times more common in women than in men. (1)

HS is associated with significant disability and handicap. The lesions are often painful and lead to loss of mobility.
