This concise video examines the varied epidemiology and significant disease burden of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). It illustrates how HS prevalence differs globally and across specific regions, sexes, age groups, and populations (e.g., US/EU versus South Korea/Japan, and higher prevalence in Black Americans and women). It outlines the profound whole-person impact of HS, which includes severe physical symptoms, significant mental health challenges, and substantial impairments in daily functioning. It also identifies key comorbidities, underscoring the necessity of a multidisciplinary and holistic approach to patient care.

• Summarize how the epidemiology of HS varies significantly across different geographical regions, sexes, ages, and specific populations.

• Recognize the extensive whole-person burden of HS, encompassing physical symptoms, fatigue, mental health impact, and compromised daily functioning.

• Identify common comorbidities associated with HS and explain the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for comprehensive patient management.
