HS forever
I've had HS since I was 20, and am now 40. I also had the pilonidal cyst which is very closely related.
I've been to many dermatologists and GPs without any success.
Tried many treatments... I do finally have it under control at this point. Happy to share what I think made things worse and better.... It's a long story. I'm not into home remedies.. And nothing a medical professional has told me has helped. In many cases they openly offer no solution.
For me it's diet.. Potato's being the main evil.. If that's the only message I could give some one.. That's it.
