First HS Symptoms: How to Identify Them?

Thank you all!! I never replied, this has all been so helpful, I just had another flare up and it's awful. Going to follow these helpful tips.

Well that sounds like h.s. Try b12, zinc and turmeric Try shaving with the hair. I use to wax and had at least 4-5, now I shave with dr bronner's castile soap and with the hair, I have one that's been stubborn 😣 but not painful . Keep the area cleaned and less friction as possible. Also I cover my cyst when they get really inflamed to help with bumping or sitting on them. Last, change your eatting I thought the doctors was on bs. But no.... when I took out gluten, cows milk, and high corn syrup. It changed everything !!!! The only thing I've been struggling on and off with is hormonal acne when I'm on my period. Total game changer !

Also cotton boxers help, per My Ob/gyn.

Wash daily with acne 10% and anti-bacterial wash alternating. Leave it on spaces for at least a minute daily. My dermo recommended this and it helps.

Couldn’t be sure. Mine started during puberty and still flares up on and off. I know being in hot/humid conditions and being overweight can make flare ups more likely. If the cysts are in your sebaceous gland areas (I.e. armpits, groin area, under breasts) it might be HS
