I was wondering do anyone know how to reduce the tunneling left from the boils? Mines is minor buts it’s on my vagina area. Any product suggestions? Or home remedies?

      Thanks Tammy. I’m currently taking turmeric capsules with the black pepper and have had great results. My problem is the old boils though. They left ugly lifted scars and I can’t seem to get  rid of them.

    I have been researching information on hydrodenitus supprativa for my husband who had a chronic condition with huge boils under his armpit and buttocks for almost 20 years...it more recently was in his armpits though and he would have huge boils twice a month he would have to get drained. I had him try everything I found online from diet, soap changes etc....nothing worked. It got so bad that a doctor was going to skin graph his armpits. I found online something about humira possibly working on HS and convinced the doctor to let him try it. He was on the drug for 6 months and then stopped the humira. He has not had 1 boil since then. ...I hate to say hes cured but it's been really promising.....thought I would pass this along since I may be able to help others with this skin condition.
