Medical and surgical treatment options are potential avenues of treatment. Furthermore, patient perspectives on HS treatments have received little attention in research to date.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To explore patients\u2019 views and experiences of treatment for HS to inform clinical care.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We conducted a nested qualitative study within a prospective cohort study. Interviews with 35 participants were completed by telephone. Purposive sampling was undertaken. Framework analysis was used to develop themes.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Past experiences and knowledge informed patient beliefs and whether an individual felt a treatment option was appropriate or a good \u2018fit\u2019 for them at a specific moment in time. Healthcare professional recommendations can influence a patient\u2019s views and which treatment option they ultimately receive. Positive experiences were reported across all treatment types covered in the study. Negative experiences included mediation side-effects, lack of efficacy, delays to procedures and burden of wound care. However, even when personal experiences were not wholly positive for an individual, participants often believed the same treatment may potentially help others with HS, owing to the importance placed on personalization of treatment.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This paper has implications for how healthcare professionals discuss treatment options with people with HS. A \u2018one-size-fits-all\u2019 approach is inappropriate, and shared decision-making that elicits patients\u2019 beliefs and preferences is crucial.<\/jats:p>\n
