I had my first encounter with HS in 2022 had to get it surgically drained . About 2 weeks ago i had my second one after 2022 , this one was way worse and more painfull , also had to get it surgically drained felt like I wanted to die 😭 . The wound is currently busy to heal ,its been a week after drainage (any tips on how to speed up the wound healing ) .Just really need some advice on how to treat HS and if there's any treatment/supplements one can use.

I'm so sorry you're going through this...I've had it for years and it can be dibilitating for me at times...I found once it's opened up and drained mostly, to use a good bandage for a day or two,to catch any drainage...then just let it heal.. depending on where it is, like avoid wearing anything tight, don't wear bra if you can, loose pants...
I found Purpose soap helps with all the areas when washing..πŸ¦‹
