HS is a systematic illness / look that up to find out more - it happens throughout our bodies though

Hi! I had a small open wound since 2019 and it has finally closed over and the skin is just about back to brown! still a little tender but so glad I’m not looking at flesh everyday! 😌
I think the diet change and getting some nutrient deficiencies in check has helped!
I do, however, have a lump in the other armpit but it is not developing into a flare right now. It’s just tender 🤞🏾

Ask your Dr I had arm pit surgery but it still did not clear it up now considering a 2nd. Ask your Dr all ?s not sure what stage you are in but there are varying treatments to consider first. I learned a lot on here. Good luck

I have a very very low pain threshold. So that depends too

Well, I suppose it depends on what the situation you are referring to is. Your pain is probably pretty bad. You can't wear deodorant. You have to wear cotton shirts with at least short sleeves. It just sucks! But if you're only dealing with the HS under your arms, that might be a positive thing. It is staying in one place. It might be more treatable.
