Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Yep, yet another infection for me! This time I had a lump under my arm and I had it removed for biopsy. Turned out to be Hidradenitis Suppurativa, a rather rate infection that affects the aprocrin glands, sweat and hair glands. Basically they get clogged and become infected and this is the outcome!

I've had to remove/replace the packing once a day for the last 3 weeks, the initial surgery area became infected after only 3 days and the resulting reopening of the wound was the absolute worst pain I've felt in my life.

This is just me removing my packing one evening for the camera. Its actually healed quite a bit already and the packing used to be about 3x as long.

Enjoy!

I have H.S and what use is the humria pen....which called adalimumab........request it from your doctor or an ance medicine such as accutane or a less harmful brand called soriatane....it help control and cures. I also take bleach baths to cleanse the areas. I help with oder and cleans away the bacteria that causes oder in the wounds. I am currently on both medication. the humira is a $1300 or more medication, i am recieving this for free.

in hot weather you will find you will have it worse ,i have been suffering with h.s since puberty and its the most awful thing ever, it leaves bad scaring and it never goes away and the pain is horrific ! noone can understand unless they have it ,i found that a solution which u can get from your gp called dalacin t ..it does work ! also you can use magnesium sulphate i found this amazing , you can get this from ur chemist, use a cotten bud and put it around the affected area g l everyone

hello i have h.s i am awaiting surgery in october, its the best way to get rid of it, for anyone considering this i would recommend it , its to do with your sweat glands u will also find in severe cases as myself you will get them in the groin and under your boobs if female, and sometimes on the bum, they completley remove your glands from under your arm pits, in the groin area it more difficult as they are dotted around so surgery is alot harder,
