Boils On Face.
A myHSteam Member asked a question đź’­

Does anyone else suffer with boils on their face?
I get flare ups often, they are really angry and cause my face to swell really bad.
I’ve had 3 in a row last few months.
Not been properly diagnosed but, was offered surgery a long time ago on my groin area. Refused as it was so invasive.
My mum also has this condition.
Is it worth going back to doctors? Referral time in the UK can take ages to see a dermatologist.
Help and advice would be much appreciated. ❤️

Don't touch it. Do deep breathing. Try a 3 day water fast with alkaline water and key vitamins. Take cold showers only. The only thing you should put in hot water is your hands. The breathing and hot… read more

Does Anyone Suffer With Boils, Hard Lumps, Spots On Their Inside Lady Parts ?
A myHSteam Member asked a question đź’­

I currently have a lump the size of a grape on the inner part of my lady parts plus two other spots/ poppable breakouts. I know that the large one will not pop it will just come back again. It had been throbbing now for 4 days . I have suffered all my adult life with these ruptures in this area, I just wondered if anyone else does? I take an anti biotic every day but it seems to have stopped working. I can have between 1-5 at once inside and out . They are absolutely killing !

Had a skin graph on the left side. Low and behold it has shown up on my left side with vengeance.

Did Anyone Develop HS After Covid Shot Or Have A Really Bad Flare?
A myHSteam Member asked a question đź’­

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

Dr. Kimball mentioned Hormonal Treatment for HS instead of Antibiotics. Would Hormonal Treatments be recommended for older ladies or for men?

Fatima, Do not know the answer. I took Vivelle patches till age 50 after my hysterectomy. It might would help. My h.s. was not as bad while on them.
