Has Anyone Taken Humira With Accutane?

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭
Hereford, AZ

Have had trouble for years and was always given doxycycline. Today a new dermatologist told me I have HS and prescribed Humira and Accutane. Does anyone have any experience with this combination? Thank you in advance.

Hello Justgina! I have Stage 3 HS in my vaginal, groin and anus area! Humira did not work for me because my condition was chronic! Dr. Thea Price at RUSH University Medical Center in Chicago, IL, is one the Top Specialists in HS! She is a game changer! She did vaginal reconstructive surgery 4 years ago! I have a new pretty vagina with no HS flare ups! That’s because the sweat glands were removed! All of her patients will not let another physician treat them! She knows her stuff and she cares!! I see her monthly for preventive care to catch flare ups before they get worst! She treats them with a steroid antibiotic injection to calm the area! Now I have a flare up in my buttocks and anus! She is going to do a laser debridement to cauterize the skin so it doesn’t return! Start off with Humira, it might work for you! However know you have more options if it doesn’t!

I have taken the doxy but it always made me nauseous and be careful while being outside on that when it’s sunny and hot because you will burn and it will suck
