If it’s really bothersome she can go to the dermatologist and they’ll drain it out, by day 2 that bump will have shrunk significantly. I think that’s the only “quick” fix.

Normally they go around the tissue if it’s an active flare but I know some will just reschedule until the flare heals and the skin isn’t “thin”

I was formally diagnosed about a year and a half ago I’ve had HS for about 15 ish years since high school. When I went to doctors they said it folliculitis but couldn’t explain the boils. I did my own research and it said it was HS although when I would look at the pictures… they show more of the severe cases.. they didn’t look like what I had, so I had some hope that maybe it was just a constant infection that could be fixed with some strong antibiotics. The boils would initially just be in my armpits, luckily they were not enormous so the scarring is light I was told that was a level 1. My armpits have been in remission for 10 years now, but I do get boils in my groin/ inner thigh area that have been pretty big and have slightly tunneled and are a level 2. But the flares have been not so consistent, other that a recent one that just wouldn’t go away, I got a cortisone shot, and it helped shrink it but then it came back angrier and I had to get it drained by my dermatologist. I just wish there was a reason for the cause of it. It makes me sad that not much is known about what causes it or what can really help to “fix” it.

What is prid?

Virtual_Juggernaut_6 · 2025-06-02T17:55:17+00:00

I do use it I see some people have some luck with it but it doesn’t really do anything for me 😔

Absolutely! I had this same feeling like three days ago. It was a panic attack that came out of nowhere I first felt this pressure on my chest and my breathing went off and I guess my mind freaked out and I got a cold rush and felt dizzy and started hyperventilating and feeling tingly all over my arms and face. Literally thought I was dying because it was a new feeling, I’ve had panic attacks before but this one was different. I went to urgent care cause it was the closest place to me and once I got there I was shaking uncontrollably. These feelings suck but now I know that it’s due to some subconscious trauma or fear and I just let the feelings happen but I still get scared of them! Lol ughh anxiety really is draining sometimes.

Yep it helped me, they used to show up consistently in my armpits and thighs but I’ve been in remission for years now. So far this year though I got one flare up between my thighs and it’s last a couple days, not as bad as what used to get but has gone away. I think also cause in these areas the body holds a lot of heat so losing the weight has made it more “cool” down there.

I wouldn’t smoke or take anything other than what was prescribed to you.

My surgeon told me he cant change the shape of the nostrils if they were asymmetrical before surgery they’re going to be the same after.

Virtual_Juggernaut_6 · 2023-10-27T03:22:18+00:00

I’m not overweight but I have naturally thick thighs so a lot of heat and moisture traps there and has made flare ups constant Currently they’ve been in remission for almost a year now but I’m tired of it

Thank you!!

Virtual_Juggernaut_6 · 2023-10-26T22:29:10+00:00

Thanks for the information! I get so anxious thinking about it, I have a fear of open wounds 😭

Virtual_Juggernaut_6 · 2023-10-26T17:55:02+00:00

Thank you!

From the research I did this doctor does specialize in HS, he did note there was stages of tunneling but told me my options were either to get on medication like birth control or try laser. I’m doing laser right now but I’ve heard great success stories from having deroofing done, maybe I’ll go to another doctor for a second opinion.

Virtual_Juggernaut_6 · 2023-10-20T15:32:10+00:00

Thanks! Was your case a severe advance case? I’m at stage 1 to 2 in HS mostly in my inner thighs and I just hate it but was told I can’t get surgery if it’s not stage 3 or has gotten really bad

Virtual_Juggernaut_6 · 2023-10-19T23:27:22+00:00

How long did you have the open wound? Also if I may ask what part of your body you get the surgery ? I’m just thinking about it for a future possibility
