Wondering If Anyone Has A Rash With Their HS?

Yes of course. Had been using a fragrance oil for years. All of a sudden it began to break me out. Now I don’t put anything on my skin besides soap. Not even deodorant and it’s amazing how at the end of the day I don’t stink.

This might not help, but I was put on Humira a few months ago for my HS and it caused drug-induced eczema/psoriasis. My rash is reddish brown (my skin is brown), smooth and shiny, and all over my body. They switched me to Remicade and it’s slowly getting better

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) typically presents with lesions that look like pimples, boils, or abscesses. These lesions can feel like deep lumps in the skin that are tender to the touch. While a rash isn't specifically mentioned, the symptoms of HS include:

- Pain
- Swelling
- Discharge
- Itching

These symptoms can sometimes be mistaken for other skin conditions, so it's important to see a specialist, typically a dermatologist, for an accurate diagnosis.

Yeah been dealing with HS for over 40 years and I get weird rashes too. I had a bunch of my sweat glands removed in my armpits years ago and it was only a temporary fix now I have open holes that won't stop draining and heat definitely makes me flare up because it's in all the spots where we sweat. I think having HS makes us very susceptible to all kinds of other issues.
