Yes absolutely!
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.

I’ve never had HS surgically removed before and I’m VERY nervous and anxious about it. I want to know what to expect so I can be prepared.
I had it under my breath and arm. I had gotten a infection and went back had surgery to get it out. But it healed nicely no flared under the breast or underarm on that side.
