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

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I’ve had HS symptoms for about a year but was diagnosed about 6 months ago. I’ve noticed that every time I have a flare I feel run down, my body hurts, and I just want to sleep. Does anybody else experience this?

Not A Question Just Letting Go
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I really don't know why I'm even posting this I guess I'm just comfortable here on this site I consider y'all my friends. Well here we go a little while back I had to spend a couple of months in jail it was due to a DWI I had gotten yes I know I'm a bad person for that. I just read a article about white lie's that's what made me think of this.

Has Anyone Tried Medical Marijuana As Part Of A Treatment Plan?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

My worst triggers are meat/dairy and stress mixed with heat/humidity. I have anxiety and depression which I have medical marijuana to help with, it's VASTLY reduced my outbreaks, even when I don't eat the way I'm supposed to.

Has Anyone Here Had Their Vitamin D3 Levels Tested?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I had my first instance in my underarms in 2016 and had surgery to remove. I had my Vitamin D levels tested then and they were in the "severe deficiency" range. I've been taking supplements ever since to get my levels up but haven't been so consistent lately with it. My next flare up happened a few months ago during the Covid lock down (under a lot of work stress) kind of in the groin area but seemed to clear up quite quickly once I started taking my Vitamin D3 everyday again. Has anyone else… read more
