Foam could ease painful skin lumps in hidradenitis suppurativa
NCT ID NCT07689188
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a medicated foam called roflumilast applied daily to hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) lesions for 16 weeks. It includes adolescents and adults with mild to moderate HS (Hurley stage I or II) who have 4 to 10 painful lumps or abscesses but no draining tunnels. The main goal is to see if the foam reduces the number of abscesses and inflamed nodules. This is an early, small trial to check safety and effectiveness.
