Why Do Doctors Prescribe Humira For HS?

Personally I hate taking medication because of side effects, most of the time side effects are worse than what you're trying to get rid of

Humira can make you more susceptible to catching other illnesses, but not necessarily. It's knocking down TNF-alpha, which is just one part of your immune system. I've been on it for a while and haven't gotten sick more often. It really varies from person to person how it affects them.

Hi Meraude, here's the link for the cream I use, it's called ssd silver something, it's what hospitals use for really bad burn victims it has been helping with my HS and my wounds are all open. I also have impetigo on both my legs and it helps with that as well
