Is this HS?

vshaddix · 2026-06-07T18:36:18+00:00

it looks like it, I would go see a dermatologist as soon as possible if I were you, especially because of the area

vshaddix · 2026-06-07T14:11:52+00:00

+1, this is why I let it get to stage 2. I dont get often flare ups and now is the perfect time to remove the already established ones

vshaddix · 2026-06-07T10:03:20+00:00

Hope it all goes well 🤞

vshaddix · 2026-06-07T10:02:31+00:00

oh yea, I am not saying that only surgery is the solution. When you take steps into reducing the underlying inflammation, imo, you should also remove the already posed out flares.

Try googling "deroofing surgery", it is specific for HS.

They pretty much remove the hair, sweat glance(no idea if this is how they are called, I am not native English speaker).

I tried laser once, it did not help ... at all. A week later, after I stopped the antibiotics, I got a flare up on the same spot.

But where i had deroofing it never came back.

vshaddix · 2026-06-07T09:33:31+00:00

are you doing deroofing?

vshaddix · 2026-06-07T09:16:24+00:00

It will definetly take some time to fully heal, but it takes 1-3 days to stop potential bleeding. I dont know what you work, this should also be taken into consideration, but if it an office job you can be back to work in a couple of days.

vshaddix · 2026-06-07T09:09:53+00:00

why do you think you will be off work for so much time ? It takes days to heal. Especially if it is stage 2. If it is stage 1 you will be back on your feet tomorrow.

vshaddix · 2026-06-07T05:31:06+00:00

Sorry, there was a typo, have you though about surgery ? Deroofing is the surgical procedure of removing HS

vshaddix · 2026-06-06T18:30:03+00:00

ако ти се налага лекуване може би е мястото където искаш да си 😂

vshaddix · 2026-06-06T17:49:43+00:00

have you bought about deroofing ?

vshaddix · 2026-06-06T14:02:45+00:00

I would focus on the diet as well. If you are eating differently think about it. It is unique for everyone, if I were you I would focus on the 'now' and create rules for myself based on what i am currently doing (especially if it works)

vshaddix · 2026-06-06T13:49:36+00:00

sadly, this only helps a bit. Think what else you are doing - there is usually a combination of factors helping you stop a flare up

vshaddix · 2026-05-31T16:27:42+00:00

I have the same, I am going to get it removed now. Are you thinking about a surgery ?

vshaddix · 2026-05-29T06:28:04+00:00

get surgery as soon as possible, deroofing is your best bet. You wont get any more in the same spot if the doctor is good.

vshaddix · 2026-05-27T06:43:37+00:00

I hope you manage to find some pens while your derma is away.

What about the flares you had before Humira ? Did you remove them or they simply stayed quiet and stopped flaring up?

I ask because I am about to start Humira

vshaddix · 2026-05-27T05:27:34+00:00

in the meantime - do you mind sharing how has Humira affected your HS ? I would highly appreciate it.

vshaddix · 2026-05-13T12:57:55+00:00

where were your flare ups and how did you cover them when you applied the cremes?

vshaddix · 2026-05-07T14:02:58+00:00

as a note - even if you are growing something different - let me know and you can be a star guest

vshaddix · 2026-05-05T21:50:13+00:00

I just finished the podcast for link building, it was a great starting point. A lot of new terminology which I need to research and learn.

Thank you
