Has anyone tried dietary changes that have helped? I cut out dairy briefly and that seemed to help but it came back.
You’d be surprised at how good the dairy-alternatives are that are currently out there. I’m a big fan of all of Violife products if you can find the in your area. Oat milk is the only nondairy milk… read more
I am also in remission from breast ca and taking an ai med. I am now on Humana which has really helped me with large breakouts. I still get smaller one but not as bad as they used to be.
I'm so unhappy about this and mad. Am I wrong?
There are going to be days like that. But remember that you are more than this disease alone. Try not let it rob you of your joy.
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
Well ms Coda let me start by saying I'm sorry that you have to go through this the HS and all but i promise i will never tell any lies on this web site because i love and respect this site to much… read more
I'm curious if anyone has had success controlling their HS with diet changes alone. What did you do? I've just finished a 2 week round of doxycycline with zero improvement, in fact it seemed to get worse. Ive had the same sore since Nov 2022. I was recently diagnosed and prescribed doxy at a walk in clinic, and my first dermatologist appointment is next week so I'll find out what my options are then I guess. My mind is going down a rabbit hole thinking I'm going to be on hard-core antibiotics… read more

Yeah the mental health way is the fastest way.
I have had a 'cyst' for a over a year. It does not drain unless I squeeze it and it is mostly blood. It normally doesn't get inflamed but if it does, it is not major. It only hurts if I try to squeeze it. My derm says it's HS. I'd like to take my chances and have someone lance it. When it first presented, I thought it was an ingrown hair from waxing. It is right in the bikini line area. Has anyone had a non-draining, 'flat' cyst that is HS? It is very dark in color. Also, if I do have it lanced… read more
Thank you so much!!!!!
The time between tests and professionals walking was 9 years for 3 examinations, and a photo session for the medical community magazine!
Thanks for noting !
This is getting worst.
Omg do you have a healed photo? Hugs
I went online and applied it was fairly easy for me. A lot of people have trouble but if you have DR history any pictures and proof of treatments that you have done and not working. Hopefully you get… read more
Anyone have very painful skin as if getting a bump but don’t see or feel any bumps? Having real bad pain in a specific small spot but nothing there.
Hey ladies. HS is something else. Have you tried an elimination diet? I finally cut out dairy and nightshades which are triggers for me. I also went plant base and juicing and helped tremendously with… read more
