HS surgery

Hiya all,

This is the first time I’ve ever wrote on a blog/forum. I’ve never spoken openly about my HS, so be patient with me.

I’ve had HS for 11 years, I used to have the odd one here and there, after my son was born it just erupted. I spent a year hiding it and not telling anyone, I went to he doctor and they give many different antibiotics nothing was helping it. eventually I went to the dermatologist I’ve tried a lot of different tablets to see if that does anything nothing seems to work, or it does for the first to weeks and it’s like my body get used to the medication.

Last Wednesday 30th January 2019, I had surgery I meet them half way as they wanted to do a big operation removing all my skin in the groin area, but the surgeon met me half way and was just going take away the worse bits. I was taken to theatre and was put under a general anaesthetic. The surgeon marked me up in 2 place, I actually have 8 wounds. When I woke up, I was only in for as a day case.

I came home sore and sleepy.

Now I’m finding the worse bit

Having them dressed and packed everyday.

I was wondering if anyone has had this done, as I’m fed up of it already and they have told me it could be months before it’s healed.

Any information would be helpful. Many thanks xx
