Acne inversa

AbbVie Care is a specialized service program dedicated to supporting individuals living with chronic inflammatory conditions, including Acne inversa, also known as Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). This skin disorder is characterized by inflamed hair follicles, leading to painful nodules, abscesses, fistulas, and scarring, primarily affecting areas where skin rubs together, such as the armpits, groin, and buttocks. AbbVie Care aims to provide comprehensive resources and guidance for patients navigating this challenging condition, which affects approximately 1% of individuals in Western Europe, particularly young adults in their twenties.

The program emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, effective treatment, and patient education. By collaborating with dermatologists, AbbVie Care assists patients in managing their symptoms and improving their quality of life. With a focus on personalized care, AbbVie Care offers informative resources about the causes, risk factors, and management strategies for Acne inversa, empowering patients to take an active role in their treatment journey.
