Post Covid & HS
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

After covid I developed massive inflammation in my stomach??? Has this happened to anyone? GI doctor still can’t figure it out but my calprotectin was 294 and I was negative for all GI illnesses. She is thinking it is my HS but we aren’t sure. But for months I have no HS breakouts but ended up with cellulitis and it started to flare again.
Any help is appreciated!!!
Thanks HS family…

I had a cellulitis breakout after my last covid bivalent vaccine, followed by exzma on top of which my HS symptoms just went berserk! Have been ill since having it & although I'm improving, progress is REALLY slow (maybe due to age'61) so I feel very mixed about having any more vaccines. It's a worry.
