I Have Been To Multiple Doctors And Nothing Helped

My HS history is really long. I’m in the 3rd stage as well. I gave birth 6 months ago and at the time of pregnancy there were no bumps or leakage. After giving birth it started coming back and much worsened. I’m currently residing in the UK and I have never shown my HS to a doctor. I really want to but doesn’t know the procedure. (Please if there is any one from UK do tell me) Also can someone please tell me what kind of cleanser/body wash/ or soap to use.

Please Please Please got tell your doctor., This could morph into other problems. Tunneling leaves ugly scars. And the pain sometimes can be unbearable. Get some professional advise and make up your mind if you will use it.

Hey I’m from the uk, and like you, HS went wild after I had my youngest , she is 3 in may and still dealing with the same flare up site, even after surgery.
I am now under a dermatologist, I went to see my nurses and they called a doctor in to check me over and I asked them to refer me to a dermatologist, and they did, and 7 weeeks later I was in.
Good luck and don’t be afraid to ask for help, unfortunately a lot of gps, do not understand this, and will give you the antibiotics that may help you for a few days but it will keep coming back.
I am currently on an 8 weeks course of 2 different antibiotics.

That new body deodorant LUME CLEARED UP MY ARMPIT BREAKOUT. I HAD IN EACH ONE FOR YEARS AND THEIR COMPLETELY CLEARED UP. BUT IT MADE MY AREA BETWEEN MY LEGS WORSE. SHAVING MAKES IT WAY WORSE. I HAVE HUGE PORES WHERE 3-6 hairs grow and one always gets infected I also stopped rubbing a towel on my skin to dry off after showering and dabbing my body dry instead ! Because believe it or not the lint was clogging my pores!! And causing them to

Hibiclens is the best to wash with, in my opinion.
