Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, inflammatory condition of the pilosebaceous unit in which patients manifest multiple, painful cutaneous nodules, abscesses and tunnels. These lesions are described to affect the intertriginous zones, however, the condition exhibits significant phenotypic variability. Such variability is influenced by the patients lifestyle, genetic predisposition and sex. In this cross-sectional study, we investigate sex differences in patterns of hidradenitis suppurativa skin involvement, specifically at site of first involvement and most bothersome cutaneous site of involvement.

化脓性汗腺炎是一种毛囊皮脂腺单位的慢性炎症性疾病，患者会出现多个疼痛的皮肤结节、脓肿和隧道。这些病变被描述为影响间擦区，然而，这种情况表现出显着的表型变异性。这种变异性受到患者生活方式、遗传倾向和性别的影响。在这项横断面研究中，我们调查了化脓性汗腺炎皮肤受累模式的性别差异，特别是在首次受累部位和最麻烦的皮肤受累部位。
