What's the most ridiculous thing at doctors ever told you what is it your skin disease outcome on a hospital visit mine was one time with a spider bite
I don't even give stupid doctors a chance to misdiagnose anything. I educate them. Tell them what the name of my skin condition is and say if you don't know don't be afraid to say that you don't… read more
My mother use to call these fat bumps, boy was she wrong. After having back surgery, I discovered that my pancreas was nicked and I became a type 1 diabetic. There are times when my blood sugar drops and I will be sweating, I have woken up numerous times overheated and sweaty. How do I get help with this? Any suggestions? I was in the hospital in DKA and saw a commercial for HS and realized that that was what I had been dealing with. When I brought it up to my doctor, he basically said ok… read more

I love my CLN Shampoo (orange label). Keeps bacteria at bay and takes odors away effectively. Doesn’t leave my skin dry either.
I was diagnosed w HS a year ago and pcos about a 6 years ago and I’ve doing a lot of research.
I tried using tea tree oil and it helps somewhat but lately I’ve been having flares more often.
I’m currently taking metformin and ibuprofen for pain along w a topical cream for antibiotics and quit smoking weed because I read it exacerbates flares.

Im trying to figure out "what" is causing my mast cells to be triggered & keeping this inflammatory nightmare going. I dont smoke, not obese but i DO have chronic pancreatitis. I read that insulin resistancy can play into HS. Ive also had a problem with candida which keeps mast cells inflaming everything. So im curious 'if' my long time gimpy pancreas has caused a blood sugar problem thats causing candida and HS?
Thanks. I think the blood sugar is causing the candida. Which in turn keeps my mast cells triggered and causing constant inflammation. I want sure if anybody on here has candida issues as well?
I'm on trulicity and it says I can get infections that can cause hospitalization if not treated. I'm overly concerned that a lesion that has broken will cause health issues. Any one else feeling this way and what should I do?
It's understandable to be concerned about skin infections, especially when managing both type 2 diabetes and HS. Here are a few points to consider:
1. Insulin and Immunity: Insulin injections for… read more
Hi Sue, I find that dairy, sweets, yeast and nightshades make my HS really bad. If I ever have them the damage is irreparable and I end up having to go through surgery to drain it. I stay away from… read more
