Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that involves infundibulofollicular dysfunction and abnormal immune response. It has a peak incidence between the second and third decades of life and clinically presents as painful, chronic, and recurrent suppurative lesions in the intertriginous areas, which evolve into sinuous tracts and deforming scar bands with a remarkable impact on quality of life. This article is a comprehensive review of the state of the art of HS. This second part includes diagnosis, classification, and treatment. Materials and methods: For this narrative review, a complete literature search was carried out in three databases (PubMed, Science Direct, and EMBASE), from 2001 to 2023, including articles published in English and Spanish. Results: A total of 72 articles published from 2001 to 2023 were included and reviewed in full text. Conclusion: HS is a complex disease, and assessing the severity of the disease clinically and by ultrasonography is essential. The Hurley scale and the modified Sartorious scale are the most used, but new scales are emerging that are useful for assessing patients with this pathology and help define the choice of different therapeutic options.
