Hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa (HS) more prevalent and disproportionally affects African American females. Although there are limited studies in HS skin of colour populations in the USA, there is more scarcity of HS skin of colour studies in other countries, which limits the overall understanding of the disease among these patients. Herein, our overview of the 10th European Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (EHSF) e.V. Conference provided a crude example of the limited number of skin of colour physicians, physician scientists and inclusion of skin of colour patients highlighting the need to increase awareness of this important issue. We summarized the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture and focused on treatment options from southeast Asia and Africa. Our outlined general recommendations for diagnosis will render better clinical care and outcomes for diverse patient populations.
化脓性汗腺炎/反向性痤疮（HS）在非裔美国女性中更为普遍且影响程度不均衡。尽管在美国针对有色人种HS患者皮肤的研究有限，但在其他国家，关于有色人种HS皮肤的研究更为稀缺，这限制了对这些患者群体中该疾病的整体认知。在此，我们对第十届欧洲化脓性汗腺炎基金会（EHSF）会议的概述提供了一个粗略的例子，说明有色人种皮肤科医生、医生科学家数量有限，以及有色人种患者纳入情况有限，凸显了提高对这一重要问题认识的必要性。我们总结了流行病学、发病机制、临床表现，并重点介绍了来自东南亚和非洲的治疗选择。我们概述的诊断一般建议将为不同患者群体带来更好的临床护理和治疗效果。
