I currently have a flare and go to the doctor tomorrow. I’m almost sure they will recommend antibiotics. Several years ago I got a bad colon infection (c.difficile) from taking antibiotics and have had IBS and other gastro problems since then. I was wondering what other people’s doctors are saying about being on antibiotics long-term and gut health. Do you use probiotics regularly?
I had a skin graf and it came back on the other cheek with vengeance. Rushing into surgery might not be the best thing to do. This is such a beast it shows up different in practically all of us… read more
Seems we are not alone in suffering this disease…
I’m not trying a 9th different antibiotic and was just wondering what worked best for who
For me, only the combo of rifampin and clindamycin helped somewhat, but that was only a two week regimen. NO OTHER antibiotics have helped. EVER.
For deep boils under the skin associated with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), topical Clindamycin is often the first treatment prescribed. It helps by reducing the bacterial load on the skin and also… read more
Any suggestions on ways to get it to drain. I am doing warm compresses and Vick’s vapor rub.
Hot baths and Vaseline or Vicks on my flares helps my pain become tolerable enough for me to get around and do some of my daily housework. As a lifelong housekeeper, my house being cluttered and… read more
I’ve noticed that this skin condition has a very strong impact on many peoples mental health . I’ve seen people on different groups say that this has made them want to commit suicide and that breaks my heart. When I got diagnosed with hs my life completely changed, I’m currently writing this with a bad flare up. My perspective on hs has changed, I no longer allow this condition to affect me and my ways of living. I made the decision that I will push through the pain, that I will no longer hide… read more

I'm alergic to Bactroban and topical antibiotics. Also I can't take any oral antibiotics....
I currently have a lump the size of a grape on the inner part of my lady parts plus two other spots/ poppable breakouts. I know that the large one will not pop it will just come back again. It had been throbbing now for 4 days . I have suffered all my adult life with these ruptures in this area, I just wondered if anyone else does? I take an anti biotic every day but it seems to have stopped working. I can have between 1-5 at once inside and out . They are absolutely killing !
Call your doctor about where you cannot put that cream on near your vagina.
I suffer from very bad HS under my armpits and I’m supposed to be seeing a surgeon to discuss excision surgery. I’ve had other surgery’s before but nothing would be as big as this. Any helpful tips or if anyone has had the surgery done can you give me some insight?
I just had an excursion under one of my arms. It was done in office and I received six stitches. The healing has been painful but expected. And I’ve been alternating Tylenol and ibuprofen. I’m happy… read more
