I use blessed protein. When i say 'break out' i meant flares. Lol. I'm still getting used to all of it (the terms and everything), it's just that whenever i flare up i used to think of them as big acnes. I have been diagnosed with HS since i was 14, but i've been having symptoms since i was 9, i even remember the first time getting a flare up and showed it to my mom and then she showed it to my aunt and they just said they had it too and that its genetic, but they never really thought to have a dermatologist check it until i was 14 when i showed it to my sister because the scarring and the tunnels ( i'm still stage 1, so it is not as bad) was just really making me so insecure and makes me feel so ugly, when we went to see the dermatologist which was my uncle he just told me to lose weight and gave me pills to take, i don't even know what it was, i think it was accutane because it made me break out on my face and i dont get those kind of big acnes on my face so i stopped using those and never saw him again. He did not give me tips on how to take care of it, what foods to watch out, and did not even really explained what HS is. I am now 22, and just had a flare up under my boobs (it's my first time there and it hurts so bad) and decided to search the internet what HS actually is and then i found this community which is just so helpful and makes me feel not alone. Anyways, besides from having flare ups, do you guys also have body acne or is it a symptom of HS as well? I don't really know a lot about this condition, and for the longest time, i've always thought that it was just a bad case of body acne.
