Risk factors, clinical course and long‐term prognosis in hidradenitis suppurativa: a cross‐sectional study

Abstract

We found that 39.4% of the sample reported remission of HS. Suspected risk factors appeared to influence the prognosis. Smoking and obesity were significantly linked to a lower rate of self-reported remission. The notion that lifestyle factors play a role in HS appears to be supported by this survey.
