Is Accutane Suitable for the Treatment of Hydradenitis Supprativa?

Hidradenitis suppurativa is something that is often misdiagnosed, so first, be sure this is really what you have. Second, Accutane isn't a medication I would go to first, but it can be considered. Usually a course of oral antibiotics including tetracycline, minocycline, and clindamycin are tried first for 2-3 months. If you have not tried this first, do this before you move onto Accutane because oral antibiotics (or a combination) help in about 3/4 of cases.
