A middle-aged woman in Canada showed up at the doctor’s office complaining of a vaginal rash that just wouldn’t go away. She had seen many physicians to clear up the lesions but numerous antibiotics and creams weren’t working.
A family medicine resident at Alberta Health Services took a closer look and found similar lesions in her armpits and under her breasts. Using the VisualDx app, the doctor built a differential and diagnosed the patient with hidradenitis suppurativa (acne inversa).
Thanks to the management pearls in VisualDx, the patient made a full recovery.
