Shane, maybe you should invest in that Magic Healer....so many rave about it working better than anything! I would avoid the drugs if you can. It seems there are so many on here that comment on just about every drug, and they either don't work, or they work for a bit then stop working. Some people even end up with symptoms of other issues from taking the drugs! Hope you find something that works! Hugs!

Just topical clindimycin for now. I’d been giving short term antibiotics in the past for spots, before I knew they were HS.

I’ve been on so many that I lost count. I think it did more harm than good. I would always be on them for about a month.

I’ve been on Clindymicin and Rifampicin for 4 years

Antibiotics has never helped. Now the times I was on prednisone, it made a difference for inflammation. But its not a long term fix. Just during surgery prep.
