A member asked:
I know what cellulitis is. i have hidradenitis suppartiva. i need to know what "abscess of trunk" means in combination with cellulitis. thanks dr.

Sounds like: a ICD term used for insurance billing. Abscess and cellulitis are both terms used to describe different types of infection. You probably have both if you have hidradenitis.
