Abstract
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a cutaneous, chronic, recurrent inflammatory disease. Here, we report the case of a 66-year-old man who had hidradenitis suppurativa in the buttocks. He suffered from diabetes mellitus. In the past, he had perianal abscesses. Because of improper treatment of furuncle infections in the buttocks, skin ulcers formed, which worsened and resulted in multiple fistulas. The skin lesion surface was large and the infection was severe. After wound debridement treatment, topical negative pressure and nutritional support were given. After one and a half months, the wound healed with split-thickness skin grafting. In a 2-year follow-up, there was no evidence of hidradenitis suppurativa recurrence.
