Hi I have had HS since I started puberty I'm now 24 and tried everything from anti biotics to tea tree oil and nothing works! I have read a lot of your posts and thought it's about time I put one of my own- I have recently been Using a microdermabrasion tool and a ipl laser for the past week, this is starting to work my boils are visibly better and the microdermabrasion tool has taken away the black heads blocking my pours, I will continue to use this and try to keep this post updated on my progress.

You can buy both tools for home use online yes they can pretty expensive but I would pay anything not not be in pain all of the time.

      Hi I am using -the make sanitas for both the microdermabrasion and the laser, I was doing the the microdermabrasion once a week and the laser every 2 weeks, I must admit I have been lazy and have used either in two week and have found my boils are coming back up, it is something you have to keep doing as often as you can, it works for me when I keep it up, I hope this can give you some results if you decide to go ahead. I will try and keep you updated if I find anything else and it would be great if you could do the same if it's not to much trouble, good luck. X

I will be getting another machine asap!! Please try it it found t was the only thing that worked for me
