Hi Nicole. I have that but nothing much of HS has bothered me since I started Humira 3 years ago. I use Hibiclens and Dial Gold to wash with, Doxycycline if I feel something coming and I wash it down with bleach and Hot, Hot water. It will draw to a head what's coming and what's about to come, I use Clindamycin Phosphate cream and take Humira injection once a week and I forget I have HS. I get a flare that's basically painless and last a very short period of time twice a year unless I get upset and that will bring one on. How is your HS being treated? Take care😊
