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.

Hello everyone. I am new on here. Obviously very annoyed and discouraged about my HS and would love any tips and recommendations! Ordering the “HS magic ointment” I have seen posted on here. Anyone have good tips or remedies for the scarring?

Never really been told what to do or what to use to help during a flare up. I generally squeeze out as much as I can & using shop bought dressings or plasters to cover them before & after rupture but this can cause more skin to be affected & create more lumps. Feels like I can't win so I try my best to make it comfortable enough to get dressed.

My dermatologist recommended me to use Humira. I have Lupus, but it's remission. Does that affect me to fight infections and lower my immune? I am interested though.

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?🤔
