What kind of antibiotics are you prescribed when you have a flare? Are there any other meds you take at those times? Are they effective? Not including biologics. I did a trial run of Humira many years ago. I've tried a couple and then end up developing allergies to some. I currently take Azithromycin 250mg. It seems to only be mildly effective. I also have Clindamycin topical, but I don't think I've used it so I don't know if it is effective or not.

Some people with HS flare-ups have been prescribed doxycycline, minocycline, and clindamycin lotion. Others have found relief using topical clindamycin gel. The effectiveness of these medications varies from person to person. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best treatment for your specific situation.

      @E_belli Unfortunately not the lymecycline was better than the clindamycin but the clindamycin and Rifampicin combination made me unwell, I didn't tolerate them very well. I've just been approved for biological treatment yesterday so on to the next stage for me x

      I'm currently taking lymecycline without much effect, I also have the clindamycin topical gel and octisan wash which I use twice a week. I have previously been on clindamycin capsules, clindamycin and Rifampicin combination which I had horrific side effects from, now on lymecycline but I have been referred to the hospital for biologics.

        @Crosslegs I have never heard of those other two, just the clinda. Has there been one inparticular that has worked best?
