My doctor said waxing is good but I’d seen other doctors online not encouraging this practice
I have started laser once on the groin and had to stop due to pregnancy. A dermatologist in Dominican Republic told me to use Soprano Ice laser hair removal. I was 2 months into it before I needed to… read more
Hi Really odd question but I have been having HS type lumps/boils/absess coming up, but they are on my bottom, stomach and even back, could it be connected ?Thanks Lisa
Thank you, I don't have a dermatologist, they said stop smoking... I did, no change, loose weight, still no change, have had 2 operations and a skin graft, that looks hideous

I got my first treatment today. I’m hoping for the best! 😃
You know, it's ironic, but I get email updates from that medical site I was telling everyone about, Practice Update. They just did another study on laser treatment for HS in adolescents! 😉
I know this is probably a weird question... HS has always affected my relationships it’s always a personal problem. I have told two people about some of my issues that are rather unsightly in my underarm. One was totally okay, but the other not so much. I’m just wondering how do you guys deal in relationships? Does it ever get more comfortable or easier?

Someone once posted and asked if there were skinny people with HS because they were skinny and have HS. So if you’re skinny and have HS do you still do the things known to aggravate HS?

Let us know how it goes
I've yet to do it. Specifically for this
Hi everyone, does anyone else get itching in spots that are not flaring? It’s been a few days and it’s awful. What do you do to get rid of it??

Hi all, I am new here and wanted to get opinions from people taking Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg daily for long term control of your HS. I am concerned about the long term use of it on my gut and all that it does & destroys within the stomach and elsewhere in the body. I was taking it daily for 6 months and it kept my flares to maybe 1 or 2 during that time. I stopped taking it about 4 or 5 months ago and all was good with HS flares. Now in the last 3 weeks or so I have had 2 flares so far.
