Recent studies found that skin lesions, which are a symptom of Hidradenitis Suppurativa, can very often be contaminated by dangerous bacteria. These pathogens are linked to skin infections and soft tissue infections.
According to research recently published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal, when researchers studied these lesions, and tested for bacterial cultures on some samples, they found bacteria that were specific to skin infections and soft tissue infections. The researchers suggest that antimicrobial therapy for the treatment of Hidradenitis Suppurativa be continued in patients.
Hidradenitis Suppurativa is a skin condition that is characterized by painful abscesses, which can appear all over the body or only in some parts. Typically however, these lesions occur in those parts of the body that produce a lot of sweat and oil glands. Lesions therefore typically appear in the armpits, pubic area, and inner thighs. A person who suffers from this condition may have chronic inflammation of the skin, and lesions that are painful and filled with pus.
