Steve Daveluy, MD, a Dermatologist in the Wayne State University Department of Dermatology in Detroit, MI, shares some key takeaways for dermatologists and dermatology advanced practice providers who treat hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) patients from the Second Annual UCB HS Summit.
They include:
- Listen to your patients. Let them share their story.
- Avoid discussing weight and smoking on the first visit.
- Start HS patients on biologics early.
- Combination therapy, including surgery, may be necessary to get the disease under control.
