Meeting Materials

This presentation, delivered in August by Dr. Michael Payette, discussed the science and evidence surrounding cannabis and hidradenitis suppurativa.

This presentation, “Practical Tips and Wound Care Supplies for Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS): Navigating Care and Resources” was given by the Hope for HS Connecticut Chapter in September 2024. It provides an overview of HS wound care supplies and available resources for HS patients. Included at the end of the presentation is a summary with links to some of the products shown in the presentation, as well as studies and other information related to HS wound care. We hope this is a helpful resource.
