Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by lesions such as abscesses and fistulas. The disease may require medical and/or surgical treatment, and the role of wound care is crucial. The acronym TIME (tissue nonviable, inflammation/infection, moisture imbalance, edge of wound) is widely recognized as a standardized approach to wound bed preparation.
