    I personally started getting symptoms around 13 and i do have rashes on top of HS boils and white ahd black heads in the regions affected. I would try to see a dermatologist if i were you because no matter what it is , its not suuppsed to be there.

    Know that a lot of doctors dont know much about HS so you might start a long journey to finding what works and you would save time with a dermatologist.

    Doctors often put us on long term doses of antibiotics that dont work so ill share what changed my life in case you have HS.

    I was prescribed antibiotics many times and none of them worked but i had another problem and was given Azithromicyn 250mg twice a day for 1 day and then once for 4 days. During this short period it improved my HS by a good 50% at least , it kept improving even after i finished taking it , the result not even took 24hrs to show. My boils gave in and started to heal after the first night. Im now on it for 3 months and its like its going away even thou im at stage 3.

    HS often give the impression to be allergic to your own sweat as pimples and boils come alive after sweating, a lot of boils heal and come back in the same place or make tunnels connecting together. Boils can also refuse to heal for years, than HS or not its better to get them cut by a doctor so they can remove the little sac containing the bacteria , its called bio film and it prevents the healing. Do not try to pop your boils because they can pop under your skin leading to more problems.

    I wish you good luck and im sorry if i gave you too much info but these are some things i wish i knew early on. No matter what you have theres hope.
