Vicks VapoRub for HS: Can It Help Get Rid of Boils? Read Article...
A myHSteam Member

My doctor put me on Metformin for my HS, my system couldn't handle it so I researched alternatives for metformin to find that it also comes in a natural plant form, called berberine. When I started taking it 4 months ago I was stage 2 on the verge of stage 3 and now because of the berberine I have had no lesions for months and I also have less grey hair now too😊Talk to your doctor and do your research before you try... Hope you find relief!

Jen that's awesome, I always lean towards natural products, I see you can buy it on Amazon! Hard on your stomach, but maybe if you take with food??

Metformin is for diabetes. I've been on it for over 10 years and I contracted HS 3 years ago. That I don't understand. But I am no doctor.
