hello everyone! ive been officially diagnosed with HS and typically get flare-ups in my armpits, bikini line, and under my breasts. it hasn’t reached the stage of tunneling or bursting yet, but i have a specific question about a spot on my bikini line that i’ve always had, and if it is related to hs or not.
ive had this small, thin area of skin, about the size of a skittle, for as long as i can remember. it’s hard to describe, but when I press on it it feels empty or hollow underneath unlike how normal skin feels. there’s no visible hair follicle there.
my mom originally called it a boil, but it never went away. it never caused pain or grew until my HS symptoms started appearing. now i notice that cysts almost always grow directly inside or right around this specific patch of skin.
does anyone else have hollow-feeling or thin patches of skin where your HS flares up? and for those who had similar spots since childhood, did they eventually turn out to be early indicators for your HS?
im curious if this was an early sign I’ve had my whole life, or if it’s something else entirely that the HS is just attaching itself to. thanks in advance for any insight!
