Scarring
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

Hello everyone. I am new on here. Obviously very annoyed and discouraged about my HS and would love any tips and recommendations! Ordering the “HS magic ointment” I have seen posted on here. Anyone have good tips or remedies for the scarring?

Smell
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

What kind of smell do you have with HS?
Having an issue, but really don't know what's going on. The dr says I have been taking in to much protein, and need a more balanced diet. Been drinking more water and switched up my eating, but the smell seems to keep coming back. Definitely calmed down some, but still smell it from time to time. Please help, never had an issue with it before, after I turned 40 it came out of nowhere.

Humira
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

My dermatologist recommended me to use Humira. I have Lupus, but it's remission. Does that affect me to fight infections and lower my immune? I am interested though.

What Are The Best Ways To Treat A Flare Up?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

Never really been told what to do or what to use to help during a flare up. I generally squeeze out as much as I can & using shop bought dressings or plasters to cover them before & after rupture but this can cause more skin to be affected & create more lumps. Feels like I can't win so I try my best to make it comfortable enough to get dressed.

When I feel one coming and when i want to bring it to a head faster, I put a warm turmeric green tea bag on it for a while then normally put a mixture of honey/turmeric/baking soda on it over night… read more
