Hidradenitis Suppurative (HS), also known as acne inversa, is a chronic, recurrent, inflammatory and painful skin condition affecting apocrine gland - rich areas (especially axillae, inguinal and anogenital regions)¹. Clinically diagnosed through painful nodules that may progress to abscesses, sinus tracts and scars, HS is staged by Hurley classification² :

STAGE I : Single or multiple abscesses without tracts/scarring

STAGE II : Recurrent abscesses with separated tracts/scarring

STAGE III : Diffuse/interconnected involvement of tracts and abscesses

Despite underdiagnosis due to delays and stigma, HS severely impairs quality of life via pain, discharge, odor, anxiety, and social isolation³. Therefore, daily management requires a multidisciplinary approach tailored to disease severity that combines medical, surgical, and psychological care . In this context, the present study was designed to evaluate the tolerance of a foaming gel cleanser in patients with stage I HS .
