I had wide excision recently but a new spot on my butt appeared which is totally new and is still freshly draining, I had gauze and dressing on it when I went out but apparently not enough, by the end of the night a friend of mine who's not very close to me but I see quite often offered me a ride home which I agreed to (I wish I didn't), I got out of the car and I look at the seat and there's a stain right where I was sitting but I wasn't so sure so I left anyways, I was so embarrassed I checked my clothes after I went home and sure enough my dressing leaked some colorless discharges. What would you guys do in a similar situation ? What is that friend even thinking right now lol I don't feel like I can explain the situation specially to people who are not that close to me and I have no idea how to deal with similar situations other than by cutting people off so that I'd never have to face them if similar things happen like what do I even say here or what would they think of me. Should I still say something if they didn't ? I ruined their damn fabric car seat!

I had my lesion widely excised. It extended from somewhere in my groin on the right side to some point on my right buttock its around a 10 cm x 10 cm wound. I've had HS for 10 years and had made my peace with dealing with it after nothing helped. It became too much to handle lately so I took the decision to do the surgery about a month ago and healing has been very good and I started to have hope that things might finally become normal. I also have a lesion underneath my left arm pit but it has been inactive for the past 2 months so I thought things will finally be well since I am on Biologics and antibiotics too. Yesterday I got some sort of an abscess or something underneath the skin on my left buttock this time and also higher up. Given the fact that I've dealt with this disease for years, I know how this is probably gonna go it will be painful and unbearable for a couple of days then it will finally drain but it will never heal and I'll be left with a new draining opening in my skin once again. I honestly feel disappointed and I have no clue if there's anything that could get me out of this loop.
