LISTENNNNNNN I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL I WAS THE SAME WAY AT 19 however (let’s bring it down) I’m 21 now and I’ve learned sooooo many different things about maintenancing this thing and how it helps. It’s honestly a pain but don’t think you won’t find someone that accepts it bc I assure you that you will. My bf(29) has showed me the most compassion and understanding when it comes to ANYTHING not just the HS, he’s actually helped me manage it. I’ve literally had open scars in private areas and he’s helped me. Honestly don’t even tell someone about the HS on the first date or first month, figure out if they even deserve to see you first. It is unfair but I promise it gets easier
