Hidradenitis Suppurativa in Children Treated with Finasteride—A Case Series

Abstract

Treatment of HS can be challenging. The options available include antimicrobials, immunosuppressants, hormonal therapies, lasers, and surgery. The authors report the largest series of children with HS treated with finasteride. The results support the use of finasteride as monotherapy for the treatment of this disease in children. Further studies are necessary to fully understand the role of this drug in the management of this disease.
