Does Anyone Know If You Can Get HS Behind Your Ears?!
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

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 😃

I have had stuff behind my ear I wondered about. I always think mine smell like what I think toe jam would smell like

I have something going on behind my ears. I'm not convinced that it's HS because the smell is very bad and other flare ups don't really smell
