I've had Diabetes for 20 years and HS for 2. Hmmmmm.
Im trying to figure out "what" is causing my mast cells to be triggered & keeping this inflammatory nightmare going. I dont smoke, not obese but i DO have chronic pancreatitis. I read that insulin resistancy can play into HS. Ive also had a problem with candida which keeps mast cells inflaming everything. So im curious 'if' my long time gimpy pancreas has caused a blood sugar problem thats causing candida and HS?
Thanks. I think the blood sugar is causing the candida. Which in turn keeps my mast cells triggered and causing constant inflammation. I want sure if anybody on here has candida issues as well?
It's very hard. I just tell and send that person a pic and let a person know it's not contagious.
Hi bob2, I'm pretty sure also that the 3 conditions are linked together, I have all 3 as well or I should say had all 3 the type 2 is gone, I was told you can reverse type 2,I was just having… read more
I am also in remission from breast ca and taking an ai med. I am now on Humana which has really helped me with large breakouts. I still get smaller one but not as bad as they used to be.
After my late husband, I have not had an intimate relationship because of fear, shame and anxiety. It’s been years and I’m so lonely. I don’t know how to move forward…
I fear that humiliation. I’m so sorry you have to go through this…
Hi so I’ve just started my journey into finding out if I do indeed suffer from HS. I’ve been suffering for around 20 years but I’ve never looked into an any diagnosis because I thought that was just me. I’ve recently had a pilonidal cyst removed and I’m on a round of antibiotics as my stitches have become infected :(
My doctor has also prescribed me a low dose antibiotic to take for 3 months, a wash and nasal cream to be used for 5 days before they consider referring me to a dermatologist. Did… read more
This is actually what HS will look like in the very beginning 👇👇😁
I'm on trulicity and it says I can get infections that can cause hospitalization if not treated. I'm overly concerned that a lesion that has broken will cause health issues. Any one else feeling this way and what should I do?
It's understandable to be concerned about skin infections, especially when managing both type 2 diabetes and HS. Here are a few points to consider:
1. Insulin and Immunity: Insulin injections for… read more
My mother use to call these fat bumps, boy was she wrong. After having back surgery, I discovered that my pancreas was nicked and I became a type 1 diabetic. There are times when my blood sugar drops and I will be sweating, I have woken up numerous times overheated and sweaty. How do I get help with this? Any suggestions? I was in the hospital in DKA and saw a commercial for HS and realized that that was what I had been dealing with. When I brought it up to my doctor, he basically said ok… read more

I had a bad flare a while back and it ended up bursting then leaking for a few days, I am not left with a hole that doesn't seem to be healing.
I have been using NanoSalv wound treatment in it which has helped close tunnels before but does not seem to be doing much on this. Can anyone give me suggestions on how to get it to close?
It sounds like you're referring to tunnels associated with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). These tunnels, also known as sinus tracts, are hollow connections that typically form between infected HS… read more
