I agree. I'm using herbs to manage my HS instead of meds. It's almost in remission.

Hi Darrell. I went through 3 different doctors in a year and no one knew what was wrong. My Dermatologist knew when I started talking to her. She gave me Doxycycline and I was on it about 3-4 months. My Dermatologist told me to stop taking it because I had a break in outbreaks. My flares never got infected anyway so I didn't need the Antibiotic. I found that my flares was through emotions. I had to stop see what/who upset me and move it from my life for my health sake. Now on Humira, life is good and my Dermatologist is happy that I'm doing well. If those of us were diagnosed with HS and we wound up having Staphylococcus Areus, it seems like the Antibiotic, Doxycycline would get rid of it unless there is a stronger Antibiotic for that or it is to be given at a certain frequency and a certain dosage. 😀. I'm sending you a BIG HUG 🫂 back.

Alright Fatima 2 ,nice work 👍, I'm so glad you took the time to look it up and remember your own experience and how it relates to you, this is important, because some people may not actually have hs and what they have could be cured so why aren't doctors taking more of the hs patients into consideration when they say, no one knows what causes hs, it could be that hs is curable if doctors identify it causes, doxycycline at one time worked for me at the beginning, maybe it's a treatment that's not being used or not being used correctly, for me it was a matter of being used correctly the second time I got sick. Thank you Fatima 2 everybody check out staphylococcus areus and see if you're receiving the right treatment the right way. I love you Fatima 2.🙏🫂

Hi Darrell. I had a boil/bump on my arm before being diagnosed with HS. I went to Urgent Care to have it drained. The NP burst it and did a test and the results was a "Bacterial Infection". This Staphylococcus Areus Infection does sound like HS. It is a bacterial infection, a type of MRSA, highly contagious and it is cured by Antibiotics.

Wow I am so glad for your response mattew2 ,I haven't heard anyone else say that they heard that from a doctor, when I stopped being able to walk or get out of bed is when I was hospitalized for the first time and that was early 1990 ,they bombarded me with every antibiotic in the book and sent a doctor to a naturepathic doctor to get a anti fungal pill to combat candida, but nothing worked, I needed a specific antibiotic at a specific frequency and I did get the in November of that year and hs appeared to be gone, I wonder if staphylococcus areus may just mimic hs ,because hs doesn't go away like that no matter what you treat it with, did you get any form of inflammation in the joints like some type of rheumatoid arthritis like i did i had inflammation every where, even my eyeballs became inflamed i almost when blind, steroid drops handled that. Sometimes I feel like I know and understand more about it than doctors, they are just humans who read books 📚, but the problem is who pays for their education, the pharmaceutical companies, which means they may not reveal or seek out or encourage their patients to consider alternative treatments, it's a business 😉. Synthetic medicine is needed and good but they help manage systems but if you're waiting for the medical industry to come up with a cure as disappointing as it is, it's not likely to happen, unfortunately certain influences in medical industry would rather keep you sick so they can sell you drugs and receive pay. Some doctors are changing and combining holistic treatments with traditional medical treatments, which makes sense, managing symptoms while naturepathic treatments heal disease. When did you become sick and what were your first signs of hs and anything working for you now or in the past Matthew 2,what's going on at present if you don't mind me asking, and thanks again for the post bro.
