In the meantime, here's a quick overview of currently FDA-approved treatments for HS:
FDA-Approved Biologics:
- Adalimumab (Humira) and its biosimilars
- Bimekizumab (Bimzelx)
- Secukinumab (Cosentyx)
Other Available Treatments:
- Topical and oral antibiotics (e.g., clindamycin, tetracycline)
- Oral retinoids (e.g., isotretinoin, acitretin)
- Corticosteroids (short-term use)
- Hormonal therapies (e.g., spironolactone, birth control pills, finasteride)
- NSAIDs for pain relief
- Metformin (off-label)
Some medications like infliximab (Remicade) and ustekinumab (Stelara) are used off-label, meaning they aren't FDA-approved for HS but may be prescribed when other treatments haven't worked.
