First-progesterone vgs 400 I thought i had a STDStds and ecological niches,went to my gyno, he did a culture,was negative and told me what he thought it might be.He sent me to a dermatolagist,who comfirmed that I more than likely had "Hidradenitis Suppurativa". He wanted to put me on Accutane to prevent outbreaks,which i could not take in case I got pregnant,it causes birthBirth control and family planning defects.Anyways, I've been dealing with this on my own, did some research on the net. I agree with the Dr. about using the soap and also I find bactroban ointment to work really well with a bandaid.I find it very embarrassing, but my husband is very understanding. It also helps to know I'm not the only one with this problem!So there is a word for your problem,now if only there was a cure! Good Luck!!!

Hi

So I finally found other people who suffer from this and I now know that what I have been suffering from, since the age of 13, has a name. Believe it or not, this actually makes me feel so much better. I have to say, that I am happy to know that I am not alone.

I have read all the other comments posted here and can relate to all of them. (especially the 23 year old who expresses her embarrassment) To you I have to say... Don't be ashamed, although it took me many years to feel comfortable with my HS and accept the awful scarring it has left, it was actually my boyfriend who helped me find this site and research and possible help or cures. Please remember this is not a result of something that you have done wrong but the result of some sort of geneticAllergies and genetics

Male pattern baldness
X-linked recessive genetic defects
X-linked recessive genetic defects - how boys are affected
X-linked recessive genetic defects - how girls are affected or chemical imbalance that is beyond yours or my control at this point!

In the decade and a half that I have been dealing with this I have tried many many things ...

hot compress's, sitz baths, epsome salts mixtures, tea bags (one of the many home remedies that you'll try when your desperate haha) antibiotics, peroxide, tea tree oil and I do believe the list could go on forever and a day!  

I have actually been successful (knock on wood) in stoping these dreaded beasts from returning. Atfer I shower or use the washroom I wipe down my bikini line and surrounding area with alcoholAlcohol and diet
Alcoholism
Alcoholism - resources
Breath alcohol test
Delirium tremens
Fetal alcohol syndrome. I keep it extremely clean. since I started doing this I have not had them return. It has worked for me for about a year and a half, its definately worth a try.

Another thing that may have helped me was weightDifferent types of weight gain
