Hi, my name is purplepassion7!

Hi @purplepassion7 - Welcome to the community. As we're not medically qualified, I'm sorry, but we're unable to advise. Your GP &/or dermatologist are in the best position to do so. However, we have had other members here with your painful condition, but I'm unsure if they are still active on the forum. The last one I responded to was @astralflyer whose personal experience was that he had success with a certain cream, but as everyone is different, it's difficult to say if this might help you.

You might try using the 'Search' function at the top of this page, to see if that helps.

There was also a guest blog about this.

Please see: https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/59004/living-with-hidradenitis-suppurativa?

I'm sorry I can't be of much more help, but please do have a look around the forum, & chat here any time. This is a very friendly & supportive community, so please do let us know if we can help in any other way. I hope you enjoy being here.
