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
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
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.
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!!!
Has anyone here received the covid vaccine and if so what were your side effects? Did you get triggered? How bad?
I’m fully vaccinated and boosted and each shot made me sick. No HS flare directly but since my stomach was upset and that was stressful I flared a little but not directly related to the vaccine.
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!
After covid I developed massive inflammation in my stomach??? Has this happened to anyone? GI doctor still can’t figure it out but my calprotectin was 294 and I was negative for all GI illnesses. She is thinking it is my HS but we aren’t sure. But for months I have no HS breakouts but ended up with cellulitis and it started to flare again.
Any help is appreciated!!!
Thanks HS family…
I had a cellulitis breakout after my last covid bivalent vaccine, followed by exzma on top of which my HS symptoms just went berserk! Have been ill since having it & although I'm improving, progress… read more
I Was Wondering Are We Able To Get A Covid Vaccine If We Are On Humira For Our HS? Because My Primary Doctor Said It Should Be Fine. But That He’s Really Unsure That I Need To Ask My Dermatologist First?
Hello! I’m looking for people who believe they got hs from Covid or the vaccination? Please put the word out
I am also in remission from breast ca and taking an ai med. I am now on Humana which has really helped me with large breakouts. I still get smaller one but not as bad as they used to be.
Any flare-ups, fatigue, inflammation...
I received both doses of the vaccine and I didn’t have any flares up at all.
