My skin looks awful because of all the boils and ulcers but I’m going to start treatment soon and was wondering once the ulcers start healing if my skin would stay bumpy and dark in the affected areas.

In my experience of places that stopped being a problem, the skin stays in the shape it healed in and is usually much darker the the skin around it. After 7 years of dealing with it i am learning to love my body and scar tissue for what it is not what it once was. 🙂

much love and support.

What treatment? I'm almost 54 and been dealing with this since I was 13. Worse after I had kids and couldn't lose the weight. I'm losing now, but still getting it badly, going through menopause tho.
I've been on every antibiotic out there for many years, my body doesn't respond to it any more. Disability doc said I was bacterial resistant. And I've tried everything can't get any relief. However, I was doing weight watchers, basically low carb and I'm type 2 diabetic so no sugar either. Which I didn't care in not much of a sweet person. Except now that's all I crave lol foods and sweet candy. Which I think is why I've been having flares. I gotta figure out why I'm craving this after so many years of not. I was more of a salt person because my sodium is so very low. All my friends were like wow that's a lot of salt 😂 well my sodium is low I craved it so bad.
Anyway, I have scars under my arms, and groin so bad it will never go back. My boobs and belly are starting to scar now too. Smh. Let me know what type of treatment and if your bumps heal. Good luck ❤️😘
