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.

Has Anyone Had Gastrointestinal Problems From Using Antibiotics For Hidradenitis?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I currently have a flare and go to the doctor tomorrow. I’m almost sure they will recommend antibiotics.
