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.

It’s been recommended to take a bleach bath during a flare up, but I can’t recall the strength of bleach the doc suggested, and I’m not sure where to find it. Anyone know what she’s talking about?
Thanks Fatima!
