I feel silly asking this, but every now and again, I will get a painful and large cystic bump behind an ear... seems similar to a typical, minor HS boil. Does anyone know if this is considered HS or something else?
I did years ago, way before I had any type of hs flares. Haven't had any since I got diagnosed. They were never painful. My mom used to tell me, boy that's your body's way of releasing toxins 😃
Yes, I even get them in my nose and eyelids 😔

Yes, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) can affect any patch of skin with hair follicles, including behind the ear. Although it's not a commonly affected area, some myHSteam members have reported symptoms on the face, neck, ear, and scalp. If you notice a nodule or abscess behind your ear, it may or may not be related to HS, as Show Full Answer
I have had stuff behind my ear I wondered about. I always think mine smell like what I think toe jam would smell like
