HS ....worries me .

I've suffered from acne for years but now I've start showing some signs of early stages of HS. The VA is great and I'm thankful to have them. Just worried that they will misdiagnose the condission.I've been getting piples and boils on my, buttock,thighs, knee pitts, groin,lower belly, neck, and now I've got this flaky sores on my scalp....Just been getting worse the past few years. I really do not want it to get any worse. What test should I request to have done, and so they refer me to a derm.?

I have had acne all my life, I am 33 yrs old. For the past 32 years, I tried everything from over the counter to prescriptions, nothing worked. I am fair skin, have oily skin. I believe I have found something that worked. For the past year I have been 95% acne free here is my story.  I now use these over the counter products, Apple cider vinegar as a daily face wash, I dissolve about 5 aspirins as a paste and use it as a mask for ten minutes daily. I also stopped drinking milk, milk produces hormones that can cause acne. I bought this product that's is called "tanda" its a blue light therapy, it works by eliminating bacteria on your face. I believe milk was my biggest cause. Also if your a male and you shave , instead of shaving use a beard trimmer to get a close shave, that way you will not get the irritation from a straight razor. I hope this helps.
