Abstract：Acne Inversa(AI)is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that commonly affects areas with abundant pilosebaceous units and apocrine glands.It is characterized by recurrent papules,nodules,and pustules,which may rupture to form sinus tracts or fistulas,ulti-mately resulting in hypertrophic scarring.The pathogenesis of this disease remains incompletely understood,and treatment remains rela-tively challenging.Recent studies have demonstrated that photoelectric technologies are effective therapeutic options for HS.This review systematically summarizes recent progress in the application of CO2,Nd:YAG laser,intense pulsed light,photodynamic therapy and ra-diofrequency in the treatment of AI.The mechanisms of action,clinical efficacy,and safety profiles of these modalities are discussed to pro-vide a reference for clinical practice.
