Abstract
This article reflects on the position of HS in dermatology in the past decades, discusses important highlights and status in the field of HS awareness, treatment and research. HS has evolved from a disease with neglible treatment options, rarely seen in dermatology four to five decades ago, to the current situation where dermatologists are in the lead with treatment options giving significant relief to patients. HS surgery, treatment with adalimumab, the anti-IL17s and fostering by the EHSF e.V. has greatly contributed to this positive development. To reach the next level in precision medical treatment, paving the way to disease modification, dissection of the disease ‘to the DNA’ is necessary. The focus should be on gene discovery, immunology, disease stratification, phenotypes and endotypes based on multi-omics, with special attention for early disease alterations in the hair follicle.
期刊介绍:
Experimental Dermatology provides a vehicle for the rapid publication of innovative and definitive reports, letters to the editor and review articles covering all aspects of experimental dermatology. Preference is given to papers of immediate importance to other investigators, either by virtue of their new methodology, experimental data or new ideas. The essential criteria for publication are clarity, experimental soundness and novelty. Letters to the editor related to published reports may also be accepted, provided that they are short and scientifically relevant to the reports mentioned, in order to provide a continuing forum for discussion. Review articles represent a state-of-the-art overview and are invited by the editors.
