    I have been married for 7 years. Apart from HS scars in my underarms, I also have raised acne scars on my upper back, acne pits on my face & surgical scars on my tailbone.

    My husband has no issues with any of this. He loves me for, who I am. He has been my rock and has always encouraged me, even when I had doubts about my physical appearance.

    He is the reason I could overcome acute HS after 15 yrs of struggling with it.

    Don't be embarrassed. There is nothig shameful about the scars and lesions.

    There are wonderful people out there in the world. Love yourself, be brave. Good things will happen.
