I use hibiclens and other natural soaps that are hydrating to combat the dryness from hibiclens.
I was diagnosed with a severe case of HS last week. I’m on oral doxycycline, topical clindamycin, and an acne wash. However I’m not and never have been a smoker or overweight. I’ve actually spent most of my adult years underweight from an eating disorder. I’m doing better now with the ED as I’ve just had a baby in September. I’m wondeting if the HS onset could be caused by hormonal birth control. I have the kyleena IUD
They like to say obesity is a factor, but they can't say why. Which means it's really not.
I’m sure this question has been answered. Anyone ever had a total hysterectomy, uterus, ovaries fallopian tubes removed and seen an improvement with HS? I know my triggers are food AND hormonal.
If you think your root cause is hormonal, consider asking your doctor about taking Spironolactone. Has worked wonders for me so far, in addition to diet/supplementation. There are research studies… read more
Has anyone else received the same recommendation?
Yes, you are right Baz. I took birth control pills for many years. Of course, I had a hysterectomy at age 47. Even after that they put me on Vivelle estrogen patches for 2 years. I have been to a lot… read more

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had any information or personal experiences with taking birth control with HS.
I was specifically wondering if it makes the flare ups worse, helps with maintenance, flares up when terminating the use of birth control and the general feeling of taking it.
Thank you,

I've been on hormonal birth control since before I developed HS. I don't think it's made much of a difference either way.
Curious to know if there are natural ways we can balance our hormones without being prescribed contraceptives (birth control tablets)
I was working on trying to find natural ways bc that is definitely a huge trigger for me. It will be awhile but will post when I find something and see how it works
I haven’t become a mother yet and am wondering if this will help my HS, keep it the same or if to expect more flares!
My 1st pregnancy yes no issues but right now with my second is the worst 😞
I have successfully been on Humira for years, and I am concerned about long term effects. I am interested in birth control or hormone therapy. How well does it control HS?
Birth control hasn't seemed to have made a huge difference for me, although I'm still on it for PCOS anyway. I know some people have a lot of success with birth control and/or spironolactone… read more
