Any Suggestions On Medications To Ask Dermatologist For My Hs

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭
Benzonia, MI

So I got a new referral to a new dermatologist I see next month as my current one was never helpful or willing to try much. I can not take humira as it lowered my immune system to much and put me in hospital for 2.5 months... I was wondering if there is any other injections or pills that I should ask about when I see them. Right now I do clindamycin topical but doesn't seem to help much when in active flare. Also curious if insurance would maybe approve laser hair removal for my spots i flare… read more

Hi Warriors. I Wanted To Know If Anyone Had Deroofing Surgery?

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭
St Louis, MO

I am having a Deroofing surgery. My surgeon said HS will never heal if you have a lot of tunneling. I have tunneling everywhere. I go in January I will let everyone know how is it. It's supposed to clear my HS along with Sterlara.

A myHSteam Member

I had this surgery and it improved my quality of life drastically. However the recovery process was very difficult. It took almost a year for all of my wounds to heal. I had 4 done at once. Also, the… read more

All My Groin Sufferers... How Do You Keep On Living? I Want To Die. I Think About Suicide EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY 😭

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭
Beavercreek, OR

I have had hs for 7 years (diagnosed 6 years ago but refuse to see another doctor or spread my legs to one) because I'm soooo fucking embarrassed I don't even want a doctor to look at me. I know after this many years they will judge me
My whole groin (outer vagina) looks like a rotting steak with maggot holes everywhere. I smell like rotting meat. My response to all of this is doing EVERYTHING and anything that makes it worse because I'm depressed to the point of unaliving myself. I… read more

Has Anyone Tried Non Traditional Medicine Or Surgery Options To Deal With Stage 3 HS?

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭
Dublin, OH

If you are stage3 HS patient then, can you write quick tips for others if anything is working with you? Remicade, Humera, Stellara are all options but have had many side effects but are there an new biologicals working for you as none of the above have helped me. Also share your recovery period experience or if you are willing to connect directly as have few questions about it

CO2 laser surgery has been the most effective for me. Did Humira for a year and did but then was no longer effective for me. Doxycycline is no the strongest if I get an abscess but must take right… read more
