The first week of June marks Hidradenitis Suppurativa Awareness Week, dedicated to raising awareness of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) - a chronic skin condition that can cause painful lumps, abscesses, and tunnel-like scarring under the skin.

At the Skin Health Institute, we are committed to supporting people living with HS through every stage of care, from diagnosis to long-term management. Our dermatology specialists provide expert, individualised treatment tailored to each patient’s needs.

We are also currently recruiting participants for a clinical trial focused on HS. If you would like to learn more, please contact Sarah Chivers at [email protected].

HS Awareness Week is symbolised by wearing purple ribbons, representing solidarity and support for those affected. The initiative aims to improve understanding of HS, challenge misconceptions, and promote earlier diagnosis and better outcomes.

Join us in raising awareness, sharing knowledge, and supporting those living with HS.

Participants will receive expert care from our dermatology research team. There is no cost to take part, and reasonable study related expenses will be reimbursed.

Congratulations to the Australasian Dermatology Registry team on their recent publication ‘Real-World Efficacy and Drug Survival of Adalimumab in Australian Patients With Psoriasis’ in the Australasian Journal of Dermatology.

The study evaluated the real-world efficacy and drug survival of Adalimumab for moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis using data from the Australasian Dermatology Registry. Outcomes from Australian clinical practice were compared with results from the Phase 3 REVEAL trial and its open-label extension.

The findings showed that adalimumab maintained strong effectiveness in real-world practice, with stable PASI90 responses over three years and drug survival of around 28 months. Achieving low disease activity (PASI ≤2) and male s*x were associated with longer treatment persistence, supporting the continued effectiveness of adalimumab in routine psoriasis care.
