2. Prescribed Pain Medications:
- NSAIDs: Stronger doses available by prescription.
- Opioids: These modify pain messages to the brain but should be used cautiously due to the risk of dependency.

3. Other Treatments:
- Antibiotics: To kill bacteria during HS flares.
- Corticosteroids: To reduce inflammation.
- Immunosuppressive Medications: Such as biologics for severe cases.

Always consult your doctor to determine the best treatment plan for your specific condition.

I use CBD gummies for pain 25mg. It works quickly and leaves me pain free. It works really well when taken at night before bedtime. It allows me to sleep all night comfortably.
