Hi,
I had laser hair removal 8 times so far, it has definitely helped and its nice you do not need to shave anymore.
I had groin surgery as well on both sides so my skin looks so much nicer 😃
Recently (since end of October) I started taking Zinc Gluconate 30 mg per day, I have not had any flare ups so far 😃
There is a study which says 90 mg / day could put your disease into remission. ) 90 Mg was too much for me, 30 mg works great (fingers crossed).
Wish you all the best

Hi Sylvia. Thanks so much for responding. Much appreciated. I'm so excited for your progress. Wishing you the best. Which country are you located?
2.So are you saying the hair laser helped and you've not flare ups since then, or helped 'cause you don't have to shave anymore?

Hi Rose,
I had to wait 5 months between the sessions as he had to make sure there was no recurrence and the surgery was successful.
I believe the laser treatment has helped a lot as its reduced the amount of hair significanlty (95%).
What I know for sure I had no recurrence or new flare ups since i am taking Zinc supplement.
The cost of the laser hair removal treatment is around 100 Euro per session. (Type: Alexandrite laser)
Also I believe Zinc can help with preventing new flare ups but the existing ones must be removed by a surgeon.
All in all I suggest doing laser hair removal, surgery and taking Zinc. 😃
Have a nice day!

Hi Rose,
I think I had some misunderstanding regarding your questions.
I assume your first question was about laser hair removal treatment and not laser surgery.
I believe the laser treatment has helped a lot as it’s reduced the amount of hair significantly (95%).
What I know for sure I had no recurrence or new flare ups since I have
been taking Zinc supplement.
mild. The surgery was done by my dermatologist with local anetshesia, in Hungary. (In Hungary it’s free of charge).
I had to wait 5 months between the sessions as he had to make sure
there was no recurrence and the surgery was successful.
If you get more boils I suggest having additional surgeries. At least I
feel better when a surgeon removes these things from my body. Maybe it sounds strange but I feel clean after surgery.
Also I believe Zinc can help with preventing new flare ups but the
existing ones must be removed by a surgeon.
All in all I suggest doing laser hair removal, surgery and taking Zinc.
😃
Have a nice day!

Hi Sylvia,
when you say you had simple surgery as opposed to skin graft can you explain what they did? Was it just draining it or did they remove skin and did you have stitches. Look forward to your response Thanks.

Hi HSmum,
At the time of the surgery i had no inflammation so he just cut out the affected area including the scars. I had sutures which were removed after 14 days.
If you use Salicylic acid ( 20 or 30% ) on the inflamed areas, the inflammation will be stopped, and it will make the surgery more easy.
I found out about Salicylic acid when i was desperately looking for a solution and I can say it is a really good temporary solution.
I hope it helps!
