It might surprise you to see the symptoms of staphylococcus areus infection, I believe doctors are wrong about origin of hs just Google this bacteria, I've been told it's what caused my hs by doctors years ago, see what you think.

I currently have a flare and go to the doctor tomorrow. I’m almost sure they will recommend antibiotics. Several years ago I got a bad colon infection (c.difficile) from taking antibiotics and have had IBS and other gastro problems since then. I was wondering what other people’s doctors are saying about being on antibiotics long-term and gut health. Do you use probiotics regularly?

I Go To The Doctor With Questions n Leave The Doctors ,Confused n With More Questions.

I’ve got an appointment to help me quit smoking coming up. Just wanted to hear others opinions on the matter. According to my dermatologist, when I questioned possible triggers, she snapped at me, “I told you this is an auto immune disorder, just stop smoking”
Now I know smoking probably doesn’t help, but I am convinced my triggers are hormonal and stress related. I do not feel heard by her, hopefully next appointment is with a different doctor

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’ve actually spent most of my adult years underweight from an eating disorder. I’m doing better now with the ED as I’ve just had a baby in September. I’m wondeting if the HS onset could be caused by hormonal birth control. I have the kyleena IUD
