What kind of smell do you have with HS?
Having an issue, but really don't know what's going on. The dr says I have been taking in to much protein, and need a more balanced diet. Been drinking more water and switched up my eating, but the smell seems to keep coming back. Definitely calmed down some, but still smell it from time to time. Please help, never had an issue with it before, after I turned 40 it came out of nowhere.

I was recently diagnosed last year but realize I have had flare ups for a few years. We just always thought they were ingrown hairs in my groin/pantyline. Currently in the midst of one and I’m miserable. I’m lucky b/c mine aren’t that bad, but I’m terrified of what they could become.

Looking for affordable but proven over the counter treatments others have used. I know everyone is different but has worked for you? 💖 Also bandage/dressing for the area? Cheek area specifically. Sorry to be bother and ask so many questions 😣😵‍💫

I was diagnosed w HS a year ago and pcos about a 6 years ago and I’ve doing a lot of research.
I tried using tea tree oil and it helps somewhat but lately I’ve been having flares more often.
I’m currently taking metformin and ibuprofen for pain along w a topical cream for antibiotics and quit smoking weed because I read it exacerbates flares.
Wondering if maybe laser hair removal could help diminish the frequency of flares.
Has anyone else had it done and did it improve your condition?🤔
