Can Anyone Share Their Experience With HS While Pregnant?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I have chronic HS and it’s primarily on my armpits and under my breast’s. I was prescribed Humira but found out I was pregnant so I couldn’t start my doses. What did you do to help decrease the flare ups? What deodorants did/ do you use? Do you put powder in the moist areas?
The pain varies under my breasts but not under my armpits. Under my armpits is usually very mild pain or very severe.

I still haven’t gotten anything for me to work but prednisone but that is not good for you. It’s a hard challenge. I get it bad during menstrual cycle, good luck to you

Be very careful in my third trimester with my second child, my milk backed up into my armpit after delivery, so there was really nothing that they could do for me besides allow the milk to forcibly come back out, so I had to stand in the showers, things like Chlyndamyicin and do not get the lotion if you have it don't use down by you vag area unless you have a fan because I made that mistake on my third pregnancy, basically you have to just see what works for you, listen to your body.

I had a few boils when I was pregnant with my first child. One was under my huge belly. It split and left an awful scar but I was okay later. My second kid caused me to break out all over my breasts. The doctors went crazy when I wanted to nurse. 😣 Yup! Another humiliation. It still comes and goes 25 years later.
