I am just at a loss.
Last year I (32f) went to the dermatologist since I got a boil near my groin once every few weeks. I got the diagnosis HS and was put on doxycycline, with the clindamycine solution and a resinol creme. Since then I have constant flare ups. Recently I had 5 boils around my private parts and all they did was put me on two other stronger antibiotics. Clindamycine and Rifadin. While I was taking that, another boil popped up. I couldn't walk from the pain and the clinic didn't help me at all. I didn't get boils cut open in time so they burst under my skin and now I probably have a tunnel there :/. One boil did finally get cut, and it was traumatic. A rush job of a cut, no sedative and then getting kicked out of the room while I stumbled in pain.
Then, I had to stop taking the antibiotics for a different reason and suddenly my skin began to clear up?? No boils, no pain for almost 3 weeks. I kept using the lotion and finally I felt like a normal woman again. The one I was before all these flare ups. But that feeling is gone again. I had a laser appointment and now I'm feeling a flare up is coming up at the tunnel area. I used the resinol creme again but I feel it makes my skin more angry. I'm so deflated and scared I'm going to go through another traumatic moment. I am switching doctors but I just feel like the less I do is better ..but I fear if I don't do it all, it will develop into stage 2.
I just want my peace back.
