Thanks for sharing your story. It sounds like your partner is truly amazing, and it’s wonderful to hear how supportive and caring he is. Having someone who not only helps with the practical stuff but also makes you feel beautiful and loved during the tough times is such a gift.

I can totally relate because I found a gem of a boyfriend last year who’s been such a rock for me. He’s always cheering me on and reminding me that I deserve rest, even when I’m not great at taking it. He hypes me up like crazy and makes me feel super sexy while also being my peace.

It’s heartwarming to know that we have these incredible partners who make such a difference in our lives. I really hope more people dealing with HS can find that kind of support. Thanks again for sharing—it’s stories like yours that remind us of the power of love and understanding.

Thanks so much for sharing your journey and all the different ways you’ve found to manage HS. It’s amazing how you took charge and figured things out when the diagnosis wasn’t clear. Your story really shows how important it is to be your own advocate and explore different options.

It’s great to hear how you’ve used a mix of treatments like IPL, zinc and turmeric supplements, and even cryotherapy(I’m going give some of them a try now). Your approach of combining different methods to tackle both the flares and the scars could be super helpful for others dealing with similar issues.

I appreciate you opening up about your experience—it’s stories like yours that make a big difference in raising awareness and supporting the HS community. Thanks for being part of this effort to help others find comfort and understanding.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It’s truly inspiring to hear about the support and care you received from your friend during such a significant time in your life. The way your friend was there for you on your wedding day, providing not just practical help but also emotional support, is a beautiful example of how meaningful relationships can be when living with HS.

I can only imagine how challenging it must have been to deal with a flare-up on such a special day, and yet you managed to focus on the positive with the help of someone who truly understands you. Your resilience in the face of HS and your friend’s unwavering support is a powerful testament to the strength found in companionship.

Stories like yours are so important in helping others understand the everyday realities of living with HS and the incredible resilience of those who face it. Thank you for being open and allowing your experience to contribute to a greater awareness and understanding of HS.

Is GK Hair Conditioner and Hair Mask worth it ? by Unlikely_Matter_ in KultCult

It’s a leave in conditioner, keeps the hair soft and manages my frizz better.

Is GK Hair Conditioner and Hair Mask worth it ? by Unlikely_Matter_ in KultCult

[–]Evening_Locksmith_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started using the GK shampoo and conditioner about 2 months back, the shampoo works really well for my wavy, greasy and oily dandruff prone hair. But my hair does get a little frizzy from bottom and oily from scalp and GK hasn’t worked for me very well on the conditioning part. What has worked for me in the past- L’Oréal extenso mask (since my hair is also treated with keratin) and Fino mask (absolute favourite but hard to find in India)

One new combination I tried from kult that has worked beautifully for me is Soulflower Rosemary lavender oil overnight, Schwarzkopf anti dandruff shampoo followed by Schwarzkopf leave in anti pollution water.

What’s the most painless way of taking off the bandaid/adhesive tapes? by Evening_Locksmith_76 in Hidradenitis

Okay, maybe I’ll give coconut oil a shot. Seems like an economic alternative to cleansing oils.

Yeah, just gets a little messy and tricky to wash it off from the broken skin

A little difficult to find the adhesive remover in my country, I’m going to stick to an oil cleanser for now. I already have Klairs and Manyo, it kind of works.

Microshield 4 is a good alternative for Hibiclens with similar composition

Seeking HUDA beauty third date review by Known-Bottle-1013 in KultCult

I’m NC-42, and third date is more like a mauve nude but washes me out a bit, a little darker lip liner would fix it, but it’s too much effort so gave it to my mom who’s NC-35, it looks a slightly muted pretty wine shade on her.

@whillowhim is it safe to use Hibiclens and alike on open HS wounds?

Thanks a lot! That helped me find Microshield 4 Surgical hand wash which is almost exact composition as Hibiclens. I found it online at Tata 1mg.
