    I have them in the same places as you and i deffo feel your pain! I suffered in silence for a long time and when i finally did open up found that 2 of my friends had HS too but were too embarrassed to admit it. I hate the way mine look but dont think my friends scarring is bad at all and vice versa. I think we have to remember that they look a lot worse to us than to other people and its not something to be ashamed of 😃

    i have HS as well, i know exactly how you are feeling, i have tried everything from diet change, anti-biotics to herbal, the only thing that seems to keep them at bay are microdemobrasion and APL machines (i bought one and do it myself) i normally use them at least once per week and my HS has calmed how a great deal! i have also found savlon is helping i cant help but pop them and drain them myself due to the pain they cause. i hope you can find something that works for you and please feel free to share anything that is working for you
