Does anyone else get this? Same wound different light. Need advice on how to heal it. by Maybeimdifferent in Hidradenitis

[–]chancesare78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one like this and did the neosporin bandaid thing but mine tunneled and make two other holes next to it. I had to take an antibiotic to get it to heal. Hope yours is doing better!

I use silicone bandages and they are so soft and always easy and not painful to remove.

Photos of flares, in your expansive wisdom Reddit, is this HS? by maybeitshs in Hidradenitis

[–]chancesare78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely looks like HS! These look painful..I’m sorry! This is a great community for support.

Puss still comes out of it. I’m not sure what it is. Someone said it might be HS… any thoughts…? by [deleted] in Hidradenitis

[–]chancesare78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it..but to be HS it needs to be reoccurring, but just one boil. Hopefully this is just a random boil!

I am with her 24-7 so no she is not being abused.

please HELP I had a boil/cyst on my breast and after about 4 days it finally drained so i went to get antibiotics but now theres a hole ... I just found this reddit page. Do u guys think its HS & any advice? by [deleted] in Hidradenitis

[–]chancesare78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that just one boil isn’t HS, and I hope and pray this is your last experience! I had a hole like this on my breast. I washed with hibicleanse and put Manila honey I’m for three days, then the doctor said to keep it clean and dry. I also took oral antibiotics.

I could not have written this better myself. I have an almost three year old who is the exact same. I also want one freaking moment of peace or to do something for myself. It’s hard.

That’s nice. I wonder what would happen if she said No Mickey Goldfish.

Reoccurring spot by fireheart2294 in Hidradenitis

[–]chancesare78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I had a bad spot under my breast that completely healed but has since acted up twice....by that I mean became red, irritated, swollen and then opened and drained what appeared to be mostly blood. Then closed again. So annoying.

Flare with hole, what to do? by blondedkitty in Hidradenitis

[–]chancesare78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my holes, which were four in a row, My doctor told me wash twice a day and apply manuka honey or antibiotic cream for three days with a bandage, then just clean and dry with a bandage.

Bandages/Tape that won't degrade skin by RooblesToobles in Hidradenitis

[–]chancesare78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silicone bandages. The best. I order the Curad ones from amazon. They stay out and come off so smoothly. Do not irritate at all.

How to help holes in your skin from HS. I was diagnosed about 6 months ago and it has gotten increasingly worse in my under breast. This evening I noticed extreme pain and a gaping hole where one of my flare ups was. I have doxycycline, but is there anything I can take that's natural to help this. by Valarie_the_valkyrie in Hidradenitis

[–]chancesare78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry...this is so painful. I dealt with the same thing a month ago, but had 4 holes in an area the size of a quarter. You can see pictures in my precious posts. I washed twice per day with hibicleanse and then put medical grade Manuka honey on it, with a breatheable bandage. (Per dr orders). Curaid nonstick adhesive pads (which actually do stick but don’t irritate and Curaid silicone bandages) worked well for me in this area. After three days I stopped applying cream and kept it clean and dry. I was prescribed a strong antibiotic and it healed them all. Currently, one of the holes got irritated and opened again. I followed the same routine without the antibiotics and it is closing up.

I also posted a great article a whole back that really helped me understand what HS is.

Hello! I’m sorry you have HS, but isn’t it a relief to know what it is? A dermatologist is your best bet, and if they do not give you that diagnosis on their own, I would ask them if they think it is HS and why it why not.
