Unfortunately, I've had COVID twice. Both times, I had a major flare-up as I got over it. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen, or if anyone knows if there is any correlation between the two? (I have one theory, but I'm no expert... however, is it possible that as the virus dies, it uses the skin as one way to exit the body?)
I believe anytime there is stressors on your body a flare up can happen. Mine is stress I get huge painful angry flares in all the wrong places.
Would you please look this up before getting the next COVID Vaccine:
Article regarding what the COVID vaccine does to HS Patients.
I don't vaccinate no
I started having recurring pimple like boils in groin either right before or right after my 1st covid shot. I can’t remember the exact date because at first they were like pimples that popped didn’t hurt and went away quickly and I didn’t even notice I had one until it popped. But my last pimple like boil on pubic won’t heal completely and I got that one after the vaccines. I had never had a sore in my life that would not heal. I think I may or may not be having mild lymphedema. Well here is a… read more
Most interesting, thanks!!!
I have been doing research on a more permanent solution for my HS and found articles saying that the flare-ups stop after you go through menopause. I am going to ask my doctor about getting a hysterectomy for this reason as I am almost 40 and do not want children. I am wondering if anyone else has had success with this? I tried hormonal birth control and it has been a nightmare. Almost a constant period and repeat flare-ups that I did not have before trying the birth control.
HS worsened for me as I started menopause and now that I am post menopause, it is even more horrible!
Hi Alina, some doctors are sure and some aren't, it be nice if they were all in sync about hs but were not there yet, have a great weekend.
Plus how do y’all date and tell the person y’all dating cause you know they can smell it during roll play catch my drift thank y’all plus we need a HS dating group.
charcoal dressings are good for covering smells :)
How many people have full time jobs ? I work 40 to 50 hours a week.
I read this post and wonder how people have time to do all this stuff and work full-time

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?
Weight can be a factor not always though any weight can have hs
Hi Team. Has anyone ever got the Covid vaccines and the Covid Boosters? Also, there's another Covid injection. Would you get that and if not, why not?
I mostly agree with you Kelly. I prefer a natural method, and letting your immune system do what it supposed to. I did have three vaccines, probably out of fear of covid. I live in a sparsly… read more
