HS Surgery - First Time!

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭
York, UK

Hi all, I’m a 30 year old female who has been suffering with HS for about 4 years. Started with my inner thighs, then groin and had my first bum lesion this month. I have surgery booked in on Friday for my reoccurring ones, inner thigh and groin. Any recommendations or good to knows would be amazing (no horror stories though please, nervous enough!)
