Tanning Bed?

I don't know. I've never even thought to use a tanning bed. I know that sun exposure and humidity make my sites more active. I would ask your doctor first. 

To be honest it worked for me for awhile . Actually very well. I think I read some where u.v. radiation is also a treatment for this. I haven't done it in years due to various reason but I was just thinking about trying it again. I noticed when I kept continually tanning it finally gave me some relief. They seemed to stop. I'm giving it a go again. I'd say try it. But I must say at first it seemed to irritate them but after a few weeks the relief was there!

I used to work in a tanning salon and used the bed almost everyday. I did not really use the basic beds, I used the higher pressure beds and I never really seemed to have much of an issue with my HS. It seemed to go into remission for the 4 months I worked there. I even used the tanning lotion that you buy at the salon as well. It is a very difficult disease and I have had a hard time trying to find something to help since then, as I no longer work there and its expensive. I am contemplating having surgery because I have pretty much exhausted every other treatment. I was diagnosed about 10-11 years ago.
