My Relief against HS

Hi all.

I am not a doctor or a medical practitioner is my first disclaimer, but sharing this with you as HS sufferer for a long time of a good relief for me from HS.

I have been searching for remedies (oral and topical medicines) but to no real conclusion. Even tried wholistic approach and the likes. 

Over the last one year i found a "quick" fix albeit temporary fix for HS.

History: My HS started as a simple boil like pimple on my bum. thinkin git is a boil it was treated as a boil. This was more than 10 years ago. I have seen skin specialists who punctured and cleaned the area by "digging" right into it to "clean" it out. most painful experience ever. They gave me antibiotics and ointments/creams to put on it. but alas it was also temporary. I now suffer HS in my armpits, around my waist, in the groin areas and also on my bottom. 

My treatment: by taking a half teaspoon of Baking Soda (NOT baking powder) and mixing it into a full glass of water and downing the lot in one go, i found that the HS (pain and all) will go away in less than 12 hours. sometimes 4 hours. Here is the catch. It brings the pimple like lump to a head and will rupture. You will need to clean it up properly and disinfect the surrounding areas to kill any bacteria. A good shower with antiseptic soap helps. I take this "remedy" three days in a row, once or twice a day depending on how large the HS is. By the second day the wound actually starts to heal and the HS stays away for at least a month. 

If you do intend to try this please speak to your doctor first as it does affect your hypertension if you suffer from it. Again This is just a suggestion of what worked for me and it might work for some of you. As a topical cream I use Betnovate N, though it is not for HS it seems to work too. 

I hope this post is not out of line, and i sincerely hope it will help someone out there.
