Hello.
im just wondering if anyone has had a lump/boil and popped and had a hole after. i had one on my tummy and its popped and left 2 holes and stinging, ive suffered with hs for 4 years now and im only 17! its an awful illness with no cure! ive been on tablets ive been to see a skin specialist and got told that my weight and being around smoke is making it worse.. ( dont you just think that your weight and smoking is the answer to every illness!!!!) last week i went to the doctors and she said botox may help! would like anyone to chat to as i feel i am suffering alone. my family and friends are sympathic but noone seems to understand how painful and uncomfitable the illness actually is!! i would like to hear from anyone about tips. thankyou much love Jess xx

let me just say you are not alone i have suffered with HS for 11 years i am now 22 and like millions that have HS ..it doesnt get any better... infact almost as though its gets worse.. it has affected my life in many ways... walking, relationships even simple tasks of doing day to day chores ive even had to come home from work because they get so bad, it isnt very nice when they flare up but you do learn how to live with them.. i have been doing some research on HS and there are different remedies etc that you can do to keep them at bay, i am in process of trying new remedies out as well as being on medication. i feel for you and good luck with what ever you do. you are not alone sweetie!!

Trust me you are not alone atall. I am 15 and have had HS for over a year now, except I have not formally been diagnosed by my GP as they failed to realise the first time last October what my condition was, explaining that it was an infection that would clear up and I have not had the courage to go back again. I have holes, discharges of pus, lumps, scars under both breasts that have never gone and I feel just like you. Just don't think you are alone, because I did until I found this forum. Knowing that there are other young people out there also suffering does not make me feel as inhuman.
Chin up, we are all in this together.

I have also experienced these holes, I have one that the skin seems to have grown over but not completely healed the hole now and then I have to push this weird nasty smelling pus from. I must say they have healed over to a degree so I can no longer see the hole so hopefully yours will to x

I packed up smoking when i was diagnosed, it helped and i lost weight and this also helped so yes....smoking and your weight are a factor. Antibiotics will never get rid of the disease, no one knows what causes it or how to deal with it.
