Hidradenitis suppurativa is a rare, chronic, and recurrent skin disease that affects the pilosebaceous-apocrine unit. Its diagnosis is challenging and it usually manifests in advanced stages due to a lack of knowledge about this entity. To date, there are no standardized therapeutic protocols available for its management. We present a case of a 22-year-old woman with the left axillary hidradenitis suppurativa and underwent surgical treatment successfully. This report emphasizes the importance of educational programs among primary care professionals and public awareness campaigns about this disease, which is under-reported in our community, to avoid physical and psychological complications.
化脓性汗腺炎是一种罕见的、慢性复发性皮肤病，累及毛囊皮脂腺-大汗腺单位。其诊断具有挑战性，由于对该疾病实体缺乏了解，它通常在晚期才表现出来。迄今为止，尚无标准化的治疗方案可用于其管理。我们报告一例22岁女性左腋窝化脓性汗腺炎患者，成功接受了手术治疗。本报告强调了在基层医疗专业人员中开展教育项目以及针对这种在我们社区中报告不足的疾病开展公众宣传活动的重要性，以避免身体和心理并发症。
