Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Male or female subjects aged 18 years or older
Participants are legally competent to sign and give informed consent.
Diagnosis of HS based on clinical history and physical examination for at least 3 months.
Diagnosis of HS (Hurley I or II) with a total AN count of at least 4 to ≤ 10, with no draining tunnels at screening and baseline visits with an AN of \>4 affecting at least one distinct anatomical region.
Agreement to NOT use topical and systemic antibiotics and intralesional steroids for treatment of HS during the study.
Agreement to NOT use a diluted beach bath or topical antiseptic washes containing chlorhexidine gluconate or benzoyl peroxide on the areas affected by HS lesions during the study.
Subjects who have had surgery in the treatment area should be at least 3 months post procedure (this applies to deroofing/ marsupialization or excision, not incision \& drainage)

In addition, sexually active FOCBP must agree to use at least one form of a highly effective or barrier method of contraception throughout the trial. The use of abstinence as a contraceptive measure is acceptable if this is a consistent part of a lifestyle choice and an acceptable backup method has been identified if the subject becomes sexually active.

Subjects with any condition on the treatment area which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could confound efficacy measurements.
Known allergies to excipients in Roflumilast foam (petrolatum, isopropyl palmitate, methylparaben, propylparaben, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, hexylene glycol, cetylstearyl alcohol, dicetyl phosphase and ceteth-10 phosphate).
Subjects who cannot discontinue the use of systemic CYP3A4 inhibitors or dual inhibitors that inhibit both CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 simultaneously for 2 weeks prior to Baseline/Day 1 and during the study period.
