Have you had success using resorcinol 15% topically for limited hidradenitis?
If so, where can patients find it? And besides topical clindamycin, what other topicals do you find helpful for individual lesions?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
I haven't used topical resorcinol, but Joslyn Kirby shared this list of compounding pharmacies that can provide it:
Custom Prescriptions of Lancaster
Good Day Pharmacy
Chambers Apothecary
Hazle Compounding Pharmacy
Cumberland Apothecary
She said it's usually ~$50 for 30 grams of resorcinol...
I have compounded 15% resorcinol cream for my HS patients to apply daily to affected areas and to apply BID when flaring. I have a small number but they have reported good success.
Thank you!
