Can a person with HS go to the swimming pool? Would the chlorine have an impact on HS?

2. swim in fully chlorinated or salt water or a mix of both
3. never swim in lakes rivers or streams because… read more
Darrell, I am sure your brother didn't get it from you. It is hereditary though. I have it, as did my Dad and his Mom. So it does run in families. If you could catch it from someone, my husband… read more
I don’t have to be funny, just tell the truth. All my stories 100% true. I’ve seen and heard everything that can be seen and heard.
I know swiming in a chlorinated pool is pretty much fine and even better if it is half salt water. I went to the beach yesterday and only went in up to wear i was protected by swim wear (my legs and chest) because i don't have a long sleeve swim top yet.
When i swim in chlorinated pool/ half salt half chlorinated pools i really just get in because i'm not too worrid about harmful bacteria, but i've never gotten to swim in a lake untill yesterday and i followed steps from an artical that said… read more
thank you guys so much this really helps a lot
Has anybody ever thought of what we used to put on our body and drink I was also just thinking that hard water if we shower in it hard water means calcium and I don't know if anybody notices it but dairy is like our major major trigger
Actually I'm autoimmune diseased with a compromised immune deficiency's at fibromyalgia and hay fever believe it or not that's deficiency
I was doing well and things under control for the most part and decided I really needed to start moving again. I started walking and not sure if coincidentally have really bad flares (groin, lower abdominal area) from friction or just the disease cycle. I’ve been hesitant to try swimming or water aerobics because of infection risk and simply managing any drainage if it occurs. Thoughts/experiences?
Doesn’t chlorine kill the germs?
I’m currently dealing with the worst flare up I’ve had since having HS. It’s in my groin area and it’s making it hard to maneuver throughout my day.
I’m now looking to start a new lifestyle for my health because I fear having to deal with this certain flare up for years like I’ve dealt with flare ups under my arm for years.
Oh absolutely! I got severe HS breakout both under arms from water aerobics. The chlorine broke down my skin barrier and my exercise arm movements caused friction which caused the breakout. On top of… read more

It seems alot of people on this site are trying to figure out what foods trigger a HS outbreak for them and this is definitely a good thing because if the Drs and researcher's can't figure this HS out then why not try to figure it out for our selves. With that being said we all just celebrated Thanksgiving so who all took a gamble and ate something they suspected might be a trigger food for them? Well I know I sure did I said to hell with it and ate whatever I wanted and enjoyed it too so if my… read more
You're right Linda. If you are pre-diabetic or diabetic, that's where Diet comes in. Diabetes makes the healing slower. I hope you can get it lower through diet and exercise. Take care, be safe… read more
