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.

Also I love my Rheumatologist .....

Nope! HS isn't infectious so it can't be passed from person to person.
It's very hard. I just tell and send that person a pic and let a person know it's not contagious.
