Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Reddit: Assessing Gaps in Patient Education
Our analysis of patient questions posted to the HS subreddit revealed that most patient questions were related to disease management, with non-pharmacological management being the most asked-about category. Providers can address this potential gap in patient education by inquiring about helpful products and practices from their patients and serving as a conduit for specific recommendations that align with the literature.
