Doctors don't know how to treat my H.S. anymore. I've ran through all of the options. The hope is to try to kill the H.S. with radiation. I'm almost always in a constant flare and can't handle it anymore. I guess this is Cleveland Clinics last dicth effort to try to help me before the decide to remove it all.

My dermatologist has me on a 2/day 100mg dose of doxycycline and Clindamycin on my flare up areas both indefinitely. I won’t complain since I don’t want another flare up I just don’t want to develop any sort of resistance to the antibiotics due to prolonged use.
Have they told you what medicine they would try next if the Humeria isn't working properly?
