First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a medicated foam (roflumilast) applied to the skin for hidradenitis suppurativa, a painful inflammatory condition. Ten adults will use the foam alone or with their usual treatments for 4 months. Researchers will check if it improves symptoms and analyze skin gene changes.

Active substance

topical roflumilast 0.3% foam

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new topical option to control hidradenitis suppurativa, reducing flares and improving symptoms.

What could go wrong
