The Impact of Hidradenitis Suppurativa on Families

Experts discussed safe and effective management strategies for patients with hidradenitis suppurativa at the 2025 Skin of Color Update.

Eliot F. Battle, MD, discusses how to effectively and successfully treat skin of color.

Experts at the Skin of Color Update highlighted the potential benefits of GLP-1 RAs in managing obesity, as well as psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa symptom management.

FDA approvals since the last Skin of Color Update expand topical and biologic options for various dermatological conditions, benefiting patients with skin of color.

Oral upadacitinib combined with topical ruxolitinib cream may be a promising therapeutic approach for patients with progressive nonsegmental vitiligo.

The study confirms that biologics are highly effective in real-world HS management, and highlights the need for a comprehensive treatment strategy considering both skin symptoms and systemic health.
