I’ve never had HS surgically removed before and I’m VERY nervous and anxious about it. I want to know what to expect so I can be prepared.
I haven't personally undergone the procedure, but I can provide some information based on what others have experienced. The "de-roofing" or unroofing procedure for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)… read more
Yes absolutely!
I had deroofing done on my inner thighs a couple years ago. It was very difficult and painful when healing and I had open wounds for a little over 6 months. I had to have a couple of incision/draining… read more
My dermatologist had mentioned a surgery called (Unroofing) that one of her colleagues were starting to do with people who suffer with HS she spoke to her colleague to see if I would be suitable for this procedure unfortunately he said the area's I have would be to large to do at this time so has anyone had this procedure or know anything about it ( if so please leave a response) To my next question has anyone had the Infusion: Inflixinab (Remicaid) generic Brand Had these infusions done or… read more
I had my first de roofing in the groin area done in November of last year and have scheduled 2 more since then because of tunneling that opens through the skin. If you get regular flares or open… read more
I had a previous surgery under my arm. Which happens to be my first ever encounter with hs. But tbh I don't remember what I had done. Well anyway I'm going back in to have it looked at again. What is a surgery u have seen done a second go around. I think I had a deroofing? I'm trying to avoid having one surgery when it should have been something different the second time around if that makes sense. I have heard of instances where docs ( general surgeon) will do the simple less tedious surgery to… read more

I was recently diagnosed last year but realize I have had flare ups for a few years. We just always thought they were ingrown hairs in my groin/pantyline. Currently in the midst of one and I’m miserable. I’m lucky b/c mine aren’t that bad, but I’m terrified of what they could become.
Also I love my Rheumatologist .....

I was diagnosed w HS a year ago and pcos about a 6 years ago and I’ve doing a lot of research.
I tried using tea tree oil and it helps somewhat but lately I’ve been having flares more often.
I’m currently taking metformin and ibuprofen for pain along w a topical cream for antibiotics and quit smoking weed because I read it exacerbates flares.
Wondering if maybe laser hair removal could help diminish the frequency of flares.
Has anyone else had it done and did it improve your condition?🤔
I did hair laser and it did improve my thigh/groin HS.
Looking for affordable but proven over the counter treatments others have used. I know everyone is different but has worked for you? 💖 Also bandage/dressing for the area? Cheek area specifically. Sorry to be bother and ask so many questions 😣😵💫
Are you referring to symptoms that might be related to hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) on the face? HS typically affects areas with apocrine glands like underarms, groin, and under the breasts, but it… read more
