This study will investigate the efficacy of PDT using aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and either blue light or intense pulsed light on active lesions of HS. We will attempt to validate the success noted in a previously published case series using PDT with ALA and blue light (Gold, Bridges et al). We will evaluate effect of treatment by number of lesions, global disease severity, and patient self-assessment with the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI).
