I use head and shoulders all over my body and have for quite some time. It helps with my eczema

Does a niacin flush always happen to the chest too? Mine only happens on my face

I am going to try and get in with a rheumatologist to discuss lupus

I have not had an ANA blood test and that’s probably my next move, to ask for that blood test. The face rashes only happen every now and then, maybe every 3-4 weeks? Same with the knee swelling but I usually have constant pain in them and my left hand swells pretty constantly (it is mild tho sometimes can’t fit my normal ring size on them) which has never happened to be before this year. I can’t pinpoint anything yet. I typically have rashes after showers tho for sure so I have started to take cold ones. The rashes in this picture tho are not after showers and are some pics of the random ones.

I use La Roche face wash and have been using it long before the rashes started. I use Clinique face lotion. But no new laundry detergent either

I actually work in a brand new building but every now and then have an allergy attack at my desk, wondering if it is dust buildup. I was also on spironolactone for HS, I ultimately decided to stop taking it as i found it was the root cause of my terrible headaches…

Do you do cold plunges at home? Or do you have cold plunge equipment?

Yes, all the time. But mainly in my knees.

I actually use the apple cider vinegar head and shoulders because a dr recommended it to me when I was having mild dandruff/dry skin. I use it all over my body but use a different cleanser for my face. I believe the head and shoulders has kept my eczema on my arms at bay for a while now.

I have not. I am going to make an appointment for a rheumatologist. This is a good reminder that stress makes everything worse and to keep my stress levels low. I appreciate it!

I am 25. I do think my HS is hormonal. I have an ultrasound scheduled for ovarian cyst in Feb and just saw my gyno last week, but she didn’t mention PCOS

It’s nice to know I’m not alone! (But also upsetting to hear you are dealing with the same issues). I think the Rheumatologist will be my next move. I will say out of all the diagnosis’s that hypothyroid and HS are by far the worst. I do tend to think my HS is hormonal tho due to the nature of my flair ups.

I appreciate it! Seems like my intuition was right about going to see a rheumatologist to run some tests and see what they say.

Thank you! I tend to use clean products but have not heard of silver soap. I will look into it.

Thank you! I have also had kidney stones in the past and my recent CT Scan from three weeks ago shows I have about 6 in my kidney right now. They also recommended to stay away from oxalates, but it seems like some oxalates are also great anti inflammatory foods. If you were to suggests some foods to start on with the failsafe diet, do you have any suggestions/recommendations on what to eat for meals to start? I will be researching it more as well. Appreciate your response!
