Sorry To Be Gross!
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

Don't know if this is related to HS but when you get a raised bump with no head on it and you squeeze it and a white line comes out - what is that? Does anyone else get them? X

Recently found out I was diabetic. I'm in stage 3. And I was wondering if there was any side effects or anything I should worry about I also take mental health medications that I worry about interactions even though the doctor said there isn't any. Any help would be very much appreciated thank you

A myHSteam Member

Thank you guys. I was wondering if it caused fatigue? I've felt very tired and weak with shaky legs and arms like I had just worked out for hours.

What Are Some Ways To Figure Out What My Triggers Are?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

In the middle of an absolutely horrendous flare in both armpits and under my belly. They won’t heal, they’ve all been open since mid December and I’m SO sick of antibiotics and prednisone. I have my first appointment with a derm but it’s not until June. I’m not sure where to start.

Hi. I tried Humira a couple years ago, and it wasn't that bad. But everybody's different. I do know if you try Humira and get on a program they have a person that will call and talk you through the… read more

Help With Hs As A Type 1 Diabetic

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.

Has Anyone Gotten Kenalog Injections And Then Didn't Have Drainage?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I got Kenalog shots yesterday. I've had them quite a few times before but this time I feel like the three places my derm injected barely drained at all....? Usually I have a ton of draining the first day after that injection. Has anyone experienced this?

A myHSteam Member

I have also recently had the same done and I don’t often get drainage, only if the spot is already open it drains otherwise it just settles the inflammation and pain associated with it.
