Hi, when my pain is really bad I use Paracetamols and antihistamines. Also, a large medical dressing if it is rubbing on my clothes.

I Just Came Back From Mexico. In Canada I Am In Remission Because Of Being On The Keto Diet....sugar And Carbs Make Me Flare.
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I didn't have any flares in Mexico, I ate sugar and carbs every day. I got home and tried to look up HS people in some Mexico cities and there don't seem to be any. I have always thought when I go to the Caribbean my HS is good, and I have always thought it was from the salt water? But now I'm wondering if it's the way they cook their food, I find it odd I can't find people from Mexico with HS?????? I got a flare the day after I returned, so back on the diet??? I am puzzled???

What Did You Have To Do To Get Your Diagnosis?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

Hi so I’ve just started my journey into finding out if I do indeed suffer from HS. I’ve been suffering for around 20 years but I’ve never looked into an any diagnosis because I thought that was just me. I’ve recently had a pilonidal cyst removed and I’m on a round of antibiotics as my stitches have become infected :(
My doctor has also prescribed me a low dose antibiotic to take for 3 months, a wash and nasal cream to be used for 5 days before they consider referring me to a dermatologist. Did… read more
