Apocrine Sweat Glands
A myHSteam Member asked a question πŸ’­

Hello, I was wondering if anybody has asked their dermatologist or any dermatologist if HS is caused by apocrine sweat glands would removal of those help or eliminate symptoms? Are apocrine sweat glands necessary for survival or can they be generally safely removed? Is there any research with apocrine sweat gland removal and HS? If removal can be helpful what are the side effects and what adjustments can be made to minimize them?

Has Laser Hair Removal Help Anyone With Flares?
A myHSteam Member asked a question πŸ’­

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.
Wondering if maybe laser hair removal could help diminish the frequency of flares.
Has anyone else had it done and did it improve your condition?πŸ€”

I did hair laser and it did improve my thigh/groin HS.
