I had a bra that had a wire that was rubbing my underarm all day, by the next morning, in the exact spot, there was a cyst so bad I can't put my arm down. Is this common? Does this happen to anyone else?
I was also diagnosed with PTSD and depression from having HS! I’ve been in therapy and see a psychiatrist over 12 years! ! Got approved immediately for permanent disability based primarily on the… read more
I am getting another De roofing procedure done in the groin area on Friday but I am not sure how I am going to dress this one, any tips so it stays protected during bathroom breaks? I have a feeling it’ll be really close and I don’t want it to get infected. Any tips welcome.
Thank you! What kind of packing and dressing did you use? I have to buy my own : (
So I can't take Humira because I'm already on a biologic for Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have 2 very bad HS tracks that just keep filling up, bursting and starting all over again. I went to the urgent care 2 days ago because one was in so much pain. I'm now on antibiotics and the Dr suggested surgery to have the track removed. Has anyone had this done and does it come back or is it gone forever? Appreciate all the help I can get. Really hate HS!!
I just had surgery done on my breast they removed central Duct and I hope I never have one there again. They removed a lot of meat and tissue. I have a tube to catch all the fluid now. I have pictures… read more

Depends on how extensive it is
HS is still a new diagnosis to me and my specialist is not give me many answers to my questions. I typically get the responses “there’s no clinical evidence or studies”, “I don’t know, I just go off of what the patients tell me”.
So I have been on minocycline for 3 months and has not done much for me. I’ve had 1 de roofing and another set for April. I have always lived a healthy lifestyle but am working on making changes. I am using resorcinol cream but have no idea what it’s supposed to do… read more
You will hear this often, but there is no single treatment that works for everyone. Because, it’s true. HS is poorly understood and understudied. I believe the root cause for me is hormonal. My derm… read more
Hello everyone! We know HS smells lol. I’ve found you are what you eat! Going plant base has helped tremendously with my smell, but recently I couldn’t shake the pungent smell. My friend told me about chlorophyll internal deodorizer and it works! I took it last night and this morning and I don’t smell lol! Maybe should try it? Got it from vitamin shop and it’s on Amazon too!
Thanks for sending me a hug, here's a hug to you in return.
Any one experience this? It’s just filled with blood and will come out if I squeeze it.
It's embarrassing, but see a dermatologist. It's definitely HS and it will not get better.
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
