Based on available information, ivermectin isn't mentioned as a treatment option for HS. The research and member experiences focus on other medications that have shown more promise.

Common treatments that people with HS have tried include:

* Antibiotics like clindamycin, doxycycline, and rifampin
* Hormone therapies including birth control pills and spironolactone
* Biologics such as adalimumab (Humira)
* Topical treatments like mupirocin or dapsone
* Anti-inflammatory medications like corticosteroids

Some myHSteam members have also explored supplements like turmeric, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids to help manage inflammation, though these aren't standard treatments.

If you're considering trying ivermectin or any new treatment, it's important to discuss it with your dermatologist first. They can help you understand whether it might be appropriate for your specific situation and ensure it won't interfere with your current HS management plan.
