Hidradenitis suppurativa is a fluctuant and polymorphic disease affecting mainly intertriginous areas. In darker skin tones, the papulonodules may initially present with a violaceous or brown hue instead of the more classic presentation of erythematous papules or nodules. Moreover, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is often more noticeable throughout the course of the disease.
