    "abstract": "Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with limited treatment options and a significant impact on quality of life. This prospective, open-label, real-world study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of strontium cream in alleviating pruritus in HS.\nFifty participants completed baseline and one-week post-intervention surveys. Pruritus was assessed using a numeric severity scale and a qualitative survey on overall itch reduction.\nStatistical analysis revealed a significant reduction in itching symptoms post-intervention, with mean itch scores decreasing from 3.80\u00b10.90 at baseline to 2.28\u00b11.50 post-intervention (\nThe study relied on self-reported data, which introduces subjectivity, and the absence of a control group limits causal inference.\nStrontium cream demonstrates promise as a therapeutic option for managing pruritus in HS, warranting further research.",
