Case report demonstrates improvement of skin conditions in an 11-year-old, indicating treatment potential.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) and hidradenitis (HS) are both chronic inflammatory skin diseases with relapsing courses. Concomitant AD and HS have been noted in the literature, suggesting that a paradox may exist, allowing the 2 conditions to persist in one patient. Here, we present the case of an 11-year-old white female patient diagnosed with AD and HS, whose conditions improved after treatment with dupilumab. We discuss unique clinical considerations for these diagnoses and treatment response for this patient population.
