          Abstract

          La hidradenitis supurativa (HS) es una enfermedad inflamatoria de la piel, caracterizada por la aparición de nódulos profundos en zonas que poseen glándulas apocrinas. Aparece más frecuentemente en mujeres entre la segunda y la tercera década de la vida. Objetivo Reportar 2 pacientes portadoras de HS a edad prepuberal. Caso 1 Paciente de sexo femenino, 10 años de edad, Tanner I-II, con antecedentes de obesidad. Consultó por un cuadro de 4 meses de evolución caracterizado por lesiones recurrentes en región inguinal bilateral que ocasionalmente drenan material purulento. Se diagnosticó HS Hurley I, se trató con antibióticos tópicos y manejo nutricional, con buena respuesta. Caso 2 Paciente de sexo femenino, 10 años de edad, Tanner I-II, con antecedentes de obesidad. Consultó desde los 6 años por cuadros recurrentes de lesiones en cara interna de muslo izquierdo. Fue tratada con múltiples cursos de antibióticos con escasa respuesta. Se diagnosticó HS Hurley I y se decidió manejo con terapia fotodinámica y apoyo nutricional, con buena respuesta. Conclusiones La etiología de la HS no es clara. La presentación a edades tempranas se asocia a antecedentes familiares y compromiso más extenso a futuro. El tratamiento de la enfermedad depende de cada caso, no existiendo un protocolo establecido.

          Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory follicular skin disease. It usually presents as recurrent, deep nodules in flexural apocrine gland bearing areas. It appears mainly in women, in the second and third decade of life. Objective To present 2 cases of patients with prepuberal HS. Case 1 A 10-year old female, Tanner stage I-II and obesity. History of 4 months of evolution with bilateral recurrent groin lesions that occasionally drain pus; HS Hurley stage I was diagnosed, and topical antibiotics and nutritional management were prescribed, with a good response. Case 2 A 10 years old female, Tanner stage I-II and obesity. Since the age of 6 years, recurrent episodes of lesions in the inner side of the left thigh were observed, and multiple antibiotics with poor response were prescribed. HS Hurley stage I was diagnosed, and photodynamic therapy and nutritional management were used, with good response. Conclusions The etiology of HS is unclear. Usually the presentation at early age is associated with a family history and more extensive compromise in the future. Treatment is difficult and depends on each case and severity.

          Hidradenitis suppurativa.

          Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory, scarring condition involving the intertriginous skin of the axillary, inguinal, inframammary, genital, and perineal areas of the body. It is also referred to as acne inversa and Verneuil disease. Follicular occlusion is the primary event in HS. It is now accepted that the first pathogenetic change is in the pilosebaceous follicular ducts, like acne, and so there has been a move to rename this disorder acne inversa. Despite the legitimate argument that hidradenitis suppurativa is a misnomer, the term has become generally accepted.

              Metformin in dermatology: an overview.

              For several decades, metformin has been used as an oral hypoglycaemic agent, where it is the first line of treatment in overweight and obese type 2 diabetic patients. This is because it decreases the hepatic glucose output and acts as an insulin sensitizer by increasing the glucose utilization by muscles and adipocytes. As a result of the improvement in glycaemic control, serum insulin concentrations decline slightly, thus improving hyperinsulinaemia and its signs. In addition, it has been shown that metformin has platelet anti-aggregating and antioxidant effects. These pharmacological properties have allowed metformin to be effective in non-diabetic situations including cutaneous conditions. This is an evidence-based review on the use of metformin in the treatment of skin disorders such as hirsutism, acne, hidradenitis suppurativa, acanthosis nigricans, psoriasis, skin cancer, among others. In addition, cutaneous side-effects such as leukocytoclastic vasculitis, bullous pemphigoid, psoriasiform drug eruption, lichen planus and acute alopecia have been associated with metformin use and are discussed in the article.
