Hello everyone! I have a similar question to a lot of others on here. I have used quite a few products and practices:Witch hazel because it's an antiseptic, antibacterial soap, medicated soap, topical antibacterial ointment, not wearing deodorant at night, multiple wash- ups through out the day - outbreak or not, exfoliating scrubs, tea tree oil, green tea cleansing mask, and I just started using Tumeric soap.

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 diagnosed w HS a year ago and pcos about a 6 years ago and I’ve doing a lot of research.

Has anyone else had it done and did it improve your condition?🤔
I did hair laser and it did improve my thigh/groin HS.
I'm so unhappy about this and mad. Am I wrong?
