    Im sure its horrible, having a job that makes you sweat with this disease, you are aware that in some cases SS benefits are putting people on disability due to their HS, but you have to have to be a Stage 2, and show from Dr all information such as surgeries and how it effects your job..this is a horrible horrible disease, i feel for you.

    Is there a specific last of your body that you get it?

    I'm a construction worker as well but I get them mostly on my legs and thighs

    Some spots on my legs were my hammer rubs when I carry it

    I recently did move to Washington and it has gotten worse since I'm not sure why
