Summary

This study tested a special wound dressing (a mix of methylene blue, gentian violet, and sheep stomach tissue) on 5 adults with hidradenitis suppurativa who had sores that wouldn't heal. The goal was to see how much the wounds shrank over 8 weeks and if pain improved. The dressing was changed regularly and healing was measured.
