Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic and debilitating skin disease of apocrine gland-bearing areas. The mainstay of treatment usually includes topical and systemic antibiotics. These agents can be used as monotherapy or combination therapy. The therapeutic role of functional textiles with antimicrobial activity has been recently emerging in the treatment of other skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis and epidermolysis bullosa. The pathologic processes involved in the development of atopic dermatitis and hidradenitis suppurativa are still incompletely understood, but these two diseases share some similarities including bacterial proliferation and chronic inflammation. We report the case of a 14-year-old boy with hidradenitis suppurativa that has been successfully treated with silver-coated textiles. To the best of our knowledge, this article is the first to report the benefits of silver-coated textiles in the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa.
