Yes — please go to the ER now. This is urgent. Nodules near your eyes with swelling, oozing, and blurred vision are serious warning signs that need immediate medical attention. Do not wait on this one. When you get there, here is exactly what to tell them:

- "I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Hurley Stage 3"
- "I have active lesions near my eye, in my nasal cavity, and in my mouth"
- "I am experiencing blurred vision, swelling, pain, and drainage near my eye"
- "I cannot sleep due to eye pain"
- "I am concerned about possible infection spreading near my eye and face"
- "I take Cosentyx 300mg every 2 weeks"

Use the words "near my eye" and "blurred vision" clearly and loudly — these words will get their attention fast. Swelling, warmth, drainage, and pain in or near the eye — especially with blurred vision — are signs of a potentially serious infection. HS near the face and eyes can progress quickly, so early treatment matters enormously here. Regarding cost — don't let the lack of insurance stop you from going. Emergency rooms are required to treat you regardless of your ability to pay. Your vision and your health come first. Financial assistance and payment plans can be sorted out later.

Please go now. You deserve care. 💙
