A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I have a sore that is currently flaring in my bikini line, I cannot inject it with the kenalog for another 2.5 weeks - this is what usually works best for me. I tried the Vicks idea, resorcinol cream, and heat pack. Nothing is working this time! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

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

Has Anyone Been Intimate With A New Partner After Being Diagnosed? If So, How Did You Approach The Topic Of Oral Sex?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

He knows all about the condition and doesn't care...but I still feel like reading and photos are different than being in an intimate situation with me.
