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. Several years ago I got a bad colon infection (c.difficile) from taking antibiotics and have had IBS and other gastro problems since then. I was wondering what other people’s doctors are saying about being on antibiotics long-term and gut health. Do you use probiotics regularly?

I’ve noticed that this skin condition has a very strong impact on many peoples mental health .

When I got diagnosed with hs my life completely changed, I’m currently writing this with a bad flare up.

Does Anyone Suffer With Boils, Hard Lumps, Spots On Their Inside Lady Parts ?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I currently have a lump the size of a grape on the inner part of my lady parts plus two other spots/ poppable breakouts. I know that the large one will not pop it will just come back again. It had been throbbing now for 4 days . I have suffered all my adult life with these ruptures in this area, I just wondered if anyone else does? I take an anti biotic every day but it seems to have stopped working. I can have between 1-5 at once inside and out . They are absolutely killing !

A myHSteam Member

Cosentyx. It has less side effects than humira with same results. The laser hair removal is definitely something I'd like to look into too for certain areas
