Atlanta, GA

Mine is primarily on my breasts and underarms. The scarring is really bad.

Hi Crystal575,
I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing HS in those areas. I have had HS since I was 10 years old, and although I have had flares in every area where skin touches, my breast and between my buttocks has been the worst! Try looking at your diet and finding a good dermatologist. Placing paper towel with Witch Hazel against my skin helped me a lot in my breast area. Under arms have to be bandaged with a salve to prevent sticking to my shirts. I hope this helps.
