Surely if that was it the dermatologists would use it

I did..for years. If you use it consistantly you will see a difference. It did not kill it, nor prevent new ones from occuring. It helped the inflammation. @anne52249 there is alot of misconceptions of relying on dermatologist to cure this disease. Even though a dermatologist doesnt have an answer doesn't mean there are not any other options and answers out there. I fixed my HS by not listening to my dermatologist actually.
Please dont rely your whole life on a doctor to fix you. You are more than capable at researching and finding natural approaches to help you cope.

I didn't mean kill it like get rid of it forever haha I read somewhere it said if you put tea tree oil on it before it gets bad it can make it not so bad.
I had always been a believer of drs and medicines cures everything,until antibiotics didn't work. So I started looking at more natural things like apple cider vinegar (drinking) and using tea tree oil,and what foods trigger it for me. I use bactroban ointment when I get a boil and usually it goes away thankfully.

How did you fix your HS? I am currently trying a few different methods: tea tree oil, antibiotics, and antibacterial soap. It's hard to tell what works and what doesn't since it takes a long time to see results. I agree that while dermatologist can be very knowledgable, it is good to do your own research as well (especially when it comes to a disease that is extremely under-researched). Would love to know what methods have worked for you.

I sure hope you don't use antibiotics to much as it would be awful to built a resistance to them. I found that didn't help,but what did was a topical antibiotic ointment called bactroban for smaller boils.

My HS is bad in my genital area
the dermatologist has me on dapsone at the moment but I don't think it's working as I recently had a massive boil on my inner thigh
the next step would be humira but I have researched other things but nothing's working
I was 60 when I developed HS and I'm sick of it it's embarrassing and I have no relationship because of it
any help or advice would be much appreciated

Yeah I also am aware of the risks of humira and I personally wouldn't touch it.
I'm 21,I was 18 when I first noticed a spot on my inner thigh.
Sometimes I feel motivated and hopeful that I'm beautiful,then I get an awful reminder of the scars and spots I have in my inner thighs and it makes me feel gross.

please don't be embarrassed although alot of people don't understand our condition there are people who do im 20 years old and will be married in 3 months and my soon to be husband dosent mind that i have constant battles with my skin condition. i do find that if i take a hot shower and exfoliate heavily it helps. i do mix drops of tea tree oil into my body wash and shampoo and after my shower i use a half and half mixture of jojoba oil and tea tree oil on my most problematic areas and for my more sensitive skin like my face i use a lightweight breathable moisturizer mixed with a drop of tea tree oil the only thing about tea tree oils is that it tends to dry out the skin so useing it mixed with the facial cream makes the dryness alot more easyier to handle
