If you're currently taking Metformin for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and looking for additional or alternative medications to reduce flare-ups, here are some options based on my knowledge base:

- Antibiotics: These can help kill bacteria and reduce inflammation.
- Corticosteroids: These are used to reduce inflammation.
- Immunosuppressive medications: Biologics like Adalimumab (Humira) target the immune system and can be used in severe cases.
- Hormonal therapies: Medications like Aldactone (spironolactone) and Finasteride can help, especially if hormonal imbalances are suspected.

Always consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.
