Armpit...now groin!
Posted , 2 users are following.
I have had HS in my armpit since I was 15. I am now 19. It started in my left armpit and since I've been at college it's the worst it's ever been. I tried injections, creams, home remedies, and antibiotics but nothing worked. I went on accutane for my acne but that didn't help it either. I am scheduled for plastic surgery on my armpit in January. However, I just noticed a huge flare up in my grown, right near my private area. Any suggestions / tips to help the pain, smell, and discomfort of these bumps?
Thanks!!

Hi, my name is Alex, I'm 29 years old and live in Illinois. I feel very bad for you. Mine started in my left arm and moved to my inner thighs and then in my groin just above my manly area. I have had several surgeries with the last one being 9-25 where the Dr cut out all the cysts under my stomach and put 47 staples going across from hip to hip to keep me closed. I would strongly suggest surgery but also suggest taking 30mg of zinc 3 times a day with food. I understand your being tired of injections, creams and such but I have several suggestions as to what might help. I also do not suggest going to Mayo clinic in Minnesota because their HS clinic was not any help. If you need any assistance feel free to message me.
