Any Have Problems With Candida Or Blood Sugar?
A myHSteam Member asked a question πŸ’­

Im trying to figure out "what" is causing my mast cells to be triggered & keeping this inflammatory nightmare going. I dont smoke, not obese but i DO have chronic pancreatitis. I read that insulin resistancy can play into HS. Ive also had a problem with candida which keeps mast cells inflaming everything. So im curious 'if' my long time gimpy pancreas has caused a blood sugar problem thats causing candida and HS?

A myHSteam Member

Thanks. I think the blood sugar is causing the candida. Which in turn keeps my mast cells triggered and causing constant inflammation. I want sure if anybody on here has candida issues as well?

Breakout Or Whatever On Face? Just Curious
A myHSteam Member asked a question πŸ’­

Looking for affordable but proven over the counter treatments others have used. I know everyone is different but has worked for you? πŸ’– Also bandage/dressing for the area? Cheek area specifically. Sorry to be bother and ask so many questions πŸ˜£πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

A myHSteam Member

Make your bandage. Get a paper towel (I use Costco brand) cotton ball in the middle, and I use paper tape (Amazon box of 12 forgot $) Vaseline so it won't stick to the skin. Good luck
