BACKGROUND: Hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa is a disease with deep-seated chronic painful nodules, abscesses, and draining sinus tracts, which manifests on the apocrine gland-rich skin areas of the body. Observational findings demonstrate that the disease usually appears after puberty, exhibits pre-menstrual flares in women, improves in pregnancy, and worsens post-partum, which indicates a role of hormones and particularly of androgens in its pathophysiology. Because increased androgen levels in serum have not been widely reported, an end-organ androgen hypersensitivity has been postulated.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this systematic review was to identify and present evidence for antiandrogen therapeutic options for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa.
METHODS: A literature search was conducted in different medical electronic databases using the keywords "hidradenitis", "suppurativa", "acne inversa", and "antiandrogen" on 1 December, 2018. The main therapeutic options were subsequently used as separate keywords with the disease terms in a separate search.
RESULTS: The main therapeutic options yielded were cyproterone acetate, spironolactone, finasteride, and metformin. One randomized controlled crossover trial and seven case series were identified following use of a standard extraction form for eligibility.
CONCLUSION: The existing studies do not allow a robust evidence-based recommendation for the use of antiandrogens in the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to define the role of hormonal treatment as an alternative or concomitant therapy together with antibiotics or biologics.
