So I have a question...does HS come on your back? Some days ago I have notice what I thought was a pimple...but this is no pimple..on the middle of nyt back on the spine. It was small ..but it grew in size. No pain to it. Just sometimes feel itchy. Been putting some warm compresses on it. Can't even see it myself unless I get one of my kids to take a picture of it. That is how I knew it has grown in size plus feeling it. I don't dare to try to squeeze it. Am scared. .I heard HS forming on your… read more
Yes. It can appear just about anywhere
Anyone read or hear anything about certain vitamins helping with HS? Thought I read a study recently suggested people with HS may be more deficient in Vitamin D, B12 and A??

Dr. Kimball mentioned Hormonal Treatment for HS instead of Antibiotics. Would Hormonal Treatments be recommended for older ladies or for men?
Fatima, Do not know the answer. I took Vivelle patches till age 50 after my hysterectomy. It might would help. My h.s. was not as bad while on them.
HS is still a new diagnosis to me and my specialist is not give me many answers to my questions. I typically get the responses “there’s no clinical evidence or studies”, “I don’t know, I just go off of what the patients tell me”.

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 having a flare up real bad in one and I think this one means its coming?
I prefer and only use spray deodorants/ antiperspirant. I find that the Dove brand is best. However Secret is in the running. I tried the Native brand and it’s a strong runner up, but not my first… read more
