I believe anytime there is stressors on your body a flare up can happen. Mine is stress I get huge painful angry flares in all the wrong places.

Alex, it's really great to have a scientist on here! 🤗 Because of what I've been through with my HS and other numerous health issues, I don't trust modern medicine or doctors so much anymore. I do my own research on pub med and NIH and so on. When at all possible, I revert to homeopathy. But! Unlike the fanatical anti vaxxers, I still believe that there is a time and a place modern medicine. I just like to be informed. I'm glad you're here and can share your scientific knowledge. 😉

Hi Alex. Thanks for the response. That DOES make sense!✅

It's a very difficult situation regarding the covid vaccine. Personally, I don't think I will be having anymore after a really bad reaction to my 4th.

I've had exema for years and topical dermatitis. I tried to keep it under control. In March 2023 I had COVID-19. After about a week I noticed a small bump in my groin area. Then there was two, three etc. They drain and bleed constantly. I've used a few things that was suggested, however the burning was so bad I was wiping the salve off. I'm in pain everyday. I used Tylenol to control the pain. I began a research to find something natural for pain. I found Kratom. I've been using it for about three months and it most of the time controls the pain. Since COVID-19 I've had many problems that I never had before. I guess I can go on about this awful disease 😔.
