  • Title: 5-ALA PDT successfully treats facial hidradenitis suppurativa-induced severe hypertrophic scar.
    Author: Zhou ZW, Chen XD, Wu XY.
    Journal: Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther; 2019 Dec; 28():343-345. PubMed ID: 31614224.
    Abstract:
    Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a type of chronic suppurative inflammatory reaction of the hair follicles characterized by recurrent dermal abscesses, sinus tracts and scars. In this report, one case of severe hypertrophic scar induced by facial HS achieved resolution of skin lesions after combined treatment with high concentration single-dose 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (5-ALA PDT). No recurrence was observed up to eleven months of follow-up. The 5-ALA PDT based treatment could improve the severe hypertrophic scar induced by HS in an effective and safe manner.
