I was diagnosed with a severe case of HS last week. I’m on oral doxycycline, topical clindamycin, and an acne wash. However I’m not and never have been a smoker or overweight.

I’m wondeting if the HS onset could be caused by hormonal birth control. I have the kyleena IUD

Im trying to figure out "what" is causing my mast cells to be triggered & keeping this inflammatory nightmare going. I dont smoke, not obese but i DO have chronic pancreatitis. I read that insulin resistancy can play into HS. Ive also had a problem with candida which keeps mast cells inflaming everything. So im curious 'if' my long time gimpy pancreas has caused a blood sugar problem thats causing candida and HS?

Someone once posted and asked if there were skinny people with HS because they were skinny and have HS. So if you’re skinny and have HS do you still do the things known to aggravate HS? Or do you not drink alcohol or smoke or eat lots of sugar, processed chemical laden foods or saturated fat foods? Or do you know to be allergic to night shade foods? Or do you eat a perfect diet and still get HS? If you are skinny, what seems to cause your flares?
