Hi there. I have just seen a post on a Facebook H.S group from a member saying she and her daughter are having really good results by using a home LED light mask. Although it's meant for the face they have been using it on other areas of the body. Does anyone have experience?

    Hey Karen,

    I have not experienced that nor have I heard of it. Are you going to try it?

    I have had great success with red light therapy. I purchased a light on Amazon for around $40 (Red 660nm Near Infrared 850nm ). I have followed a strict no sugar diet to control my HS for years, but find myself sometimes eating something I shouldn't. The last outbreak I had was Jan 2020 and I implemented the Red Light therapy at that time (3-4 times per day for 5 days). I haven't had it return since then and I have eaten sugar through the holidays.

    I can't really explain it, but it clearly did something. This is the longest period of time I have gone without an outbreak in over 20 years.
