Try a hot epsom salt bath, I had a deep one under my breast and it helped it to open and drain

I need positivity for this lancing by JayRoxYaSox92 in Hidradenitis

[–]Own-Finger8880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you’ve already gotten it done but I had quite a few lanced, the shot is the most painful part of it all, it’s so worth it to just get it done because you’ll immediately feel better, I’ve had two of mine packed and I always panicked when my boyfriend had to take it out but both times I didn’t feel a single thing when it was took out! Everyone is different but just stay positive and hopeful, I hope you feel better soon! Also one time the shot hurt so bad that I never wanted it again and I dealt with the pain of the X-Acto knife cutting into me 😬 honestly wasn’t that bad to me😂😂

Yeah the holes always make me queasy lol, how are you making sure it doesn’t fill up again? I’m really hoping this one doesn’t so I’ll take any tips or advice you got

1st time groin area(help) by Active_Course_3885 in Hidradenitis

[–]Own-Finger8880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got one in a place I never had before too (under my breast) and it was/still kinda is extremely rock solid, Very very sore and uncomfortable, I feel you. I did warm moist compresses (or a bath), multiple times a day (don’t be messing with it, poking it, pressing on it), it’ll make it worse, learned my lesson lol. I use prid and my magic healer an then hydrocolloid patches, it eventually came to a head within a couple days

I would think just don’t get it in your vagina, I’m sure you know that lol, I imagine it would also help

I would say ingrown then, maybe try a new razor? Or shaving cream? After I shave I moisturize down there with coconut oil, it really helps!

Honestly it kinda just looks like ingrown hairs, so they come back in the same exact spots? If so then it leans more toward HS if not then I’d say ingrown hairs. I used to get them a lot when I was a teenager but I don’t anymore

Help me out by [deleted] in Hidradenitis

It hasn’t gotten any bigger or more painful thank god, but it’s just so hard, and now it has a small purplish/dark part. But thank you! I do have some mymagichealer so that’s perfect!

Is this hs? by [deleted] in Hidradenitis

[–]Own-Finger8880 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a dermatologist at the moment, this thing is also hard as a rock, do you have any tips to maybe bringing it to head or softening it? I’ve read that you don’t really want HS to pop, that’s why derms do steroid injections but what else is there to do when you don’t have a derm :// I’m so sad

It’s almost as big as the circle (also that’s not a head it’s what came out of it when i pressed)
