N2  - Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a highly morbid chronic inflammatory skin disease resulting in painful and purulent lesions classically occurring in areas with a high density of apocrine glands such as the groin and axillae. This is the case of a 53-year-old male with medically refractory Hurley stage III HS affecting multiple anatomical sites including the dorsum of the right foot, an atypical location. Throughout his hospital course, he underwent a series of surgical excision and graft procedures to treat extensive HS lesions on various anatomical locations. In patients with a history of HS, mechanical stress may result in atypical lesion locations. In addition to the standard medical and surgical treatment, management should include optimizing nutritional parameters, smoking cessation, wound care and reducing friction and pressure at the affected area.
