Abstract
Acne inversa is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with degradation of hair follicles and apocrine glands. During its course, abscesses, fistulas, and scarring occur in the axillary, inguinal, genital, and anal regions. The disease significantly impairs quality of life and affects patients’ mental health. This paper presents cases of patients with severe forms of acne inversa.
