Abstract
Apocrine acne, otherwise known as hidradenitis suppurativa, is a chronic inflammatory scarring disease affecting the apocrine gland-bearing skin. We present a case of a 34-year-old woman with severe vulval apocrine acne who was successfully treated initially with prednisolone and then maintained on long-term isotretinoin. This case indicates that long-term treatment with isotretinoin may be more successful than the usual 4–6 months treatment regime.
