I took the injections from March to end of May. We are almost to October and I have been free and clear of any breakouts. I’ve never been this long without issues.

Members responded with genuine curiosity and excitement to the question about whether semaglutide injections cleared up hidradenitis suppurativa symptoms, with several sharing their own experiences using medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Humira. Many members described seeing some improvement in their HS symptoms while on these medications, with one mentioning a recent study suggesting Ozempic shows promise for treating HS, while another noted that their symptoms stopped with Humira but returned when they could no longer afford it. A recurring theme was the question of whether the improvement came from the medication itself or from weight loss and dietary changes that often accompany these treatments, with members encouraging each other to discuss these options with their doctors and pay closer attention to any skin improvements.

I just saw a news report about a small study that showed Ozempic had some promise treating HS. It was a pretty small sample size but it seems like these semaglutide drugs might help HS too.

Mines had stopped when I was taking Humera injections, but came back once unaffordable.

I take Mounjaro for diabetes. If it works with HS Im going to suggest to my daughter that she look into this.

Hi Denise - I did take Semiglutide injections and saw a slight difference. Switched after a few months in April to Mounjaro, which is a different formula and I also see a slight difference. I will start to pay more attention.
