A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

This app has really inspired me and wanting to do more and getting the word out and more people will not have to deal with this disease alone, and more Dr.s. will need / want to learn more about it so they will be forced to help us with a cure or a way to make us more comfortable and for us to deal with this evil disease.

Anybody Else Not Overweight?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed with a severe case of HS last week. I’m on oral doxycycline, topical clindamycin, and an acne wash. However I’m not and never have been a smoker or overweight. I’ve actually spent most of my adult years underweight from an eating disorder. I’m doing better now with the ED as I’ve just had a baby in September. I’m wondeting if the HS onset could be caused by hormonal birth control. I have the kyleena IUD

The Smell Lol…something That’s Actually Working!
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

Hello everyone! We know HS smells lol. I’ve found you are what you eat! Going plant base has helped tremendously with my smell, but recently I couldn’t shake the pungent smell. My friend told me about chlorophyll internal deodorizer and it works! I took it last night and this morning and I don’t smell lol! Maybe should try it? Got it from vitamin shop and it’s on Amazon too!

What's One Misconception Would You Like To Talk With Everyone About Having HS?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

Some people believe that HS is contagious skin disease or think it's some form of STD , so what information would you like to give to people about HS and about living with HS?

A myHSteam Member

That it is due to uncleanness. I believe that is the reason it has been covered up for so long. People on here have had this thing for 40 years.
