Tips for managing symptoms
Hi all! I've been suffering from HS symptoms for quite a few years now (started around puberty, I'm now 18) in the groin area unfortunately. I haven't been diagnosed by a doctor (trying to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist in my area..) but it seems to be very obviously HS around stage 2. I have quite a few reoccurring boils in that area, which makes walking painful when they're open and/or leaking.
So far I've been washing with benzoyl peroxide a few times a week, taking baths or using warm compresses, and covering with vaseline and gauze pads when an abscess opens. However, they are quite persistent regardless of my efforts...
Any tips? I also seem to have some PCOS symptoms, so am trying to see a gynecologist which could help my HS flares too.
Thanks :)
