I've had HS for about 6 years now. 4 surgeries (all under my arms), 3 antibiotics, 1 skin graft and no sweat pores under my arms, I'm starting to get them in other areas. My dr is prescribing me Accutaneanyone use that?
As far as natural remedies, zinc. Zinc DOES help. Loosing weight helps too. I'm not over weight but tried to loose 20 lbs (I was 150) and that seemed to help. Also, have your dr drain your boils. You can end up with less infections/scars/etc. just don't get surgery to remove your sweat pores...biggest mistake I made with HS. Helpful?
