Intro

12th CONFERENCE of the European Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation e.V.

The Chancellor of the University of Florence, Prof. Alessandra Petrucci, welcomes the 12th EHSF Conference 2023 in Florence and grants that it will be held under the auspices of the University of Florence and recognizes EHSF as a high relevant scientific-cultural Society.

Welcome to EHSF 2023

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory debilitating skin disease with a very heavy impact on quality of life. Until 2006 it has been considered an orphan disease, due to its limited knowledge and also to the great diagnostic delay. An important progress has been made in the last decade concerning its correct and earlier diagnosis and therapeutical approaches. Even though a lot has been done, there is current evidence that the measurements and the therapeutical tools are not able to fulfil the needs of HS patients. Moreover, it is necessary to increase the centrality of the patient in clinical research to get HS patients involved in their own treatment.
