July 17, 201610 yr I am a chronic sufferer of HS. And they are super painful.. They are very uncomfortable and they make me feel so uncomfortable to be around people. Has anybody who experience this have them go away after WLS? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It has cleared to completely and no other issues since *knock wood*.Congrats DaisyAmy.. I have a serious case of it. Anywhere you can think of getting it, I've had or have it. I've also had the surgery to remove it. Somehow it keeps coming back. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
July 17, 201610 yr Ugh. That sucks. Are you pre op? I was given a liquid soap, prescription roll on type liquid and doxycycline by my dermatologist for that last outbreak. It lasted almost a year! Hoping you get some relief!!

July 17, 201610 yr Oh my god I am so happy to see this thread. I have had this for a while and I didn't realize it was something other people got. I have it quite bad under my arms. I apologize if this is graphic but how do you guys deal with it? I have to put pads on my shirts and I'm always self conscious that there is a smell. I have been to a dermatologists i have been on some antibiotics and has not resolved. I am currently trying some treatment I read about where they suggested using common acne treatments. I am 10 months post op and it has not improved.
July 18, 201610 yr I am a year post op. My HS was fairly active in the beginning post op but in the last couple of months things have died down tremendously. I may have had one or two nodes that popped up but nothing has opened up and drained in months. Like I said, if something does pop up, it seems to just go away on its own. Fingers crossed it stays like this for me. I had it bad under my arms.

I am 10 months post op and it has not improved. I have been dealing with this for some years now, and I have found somethings that have worked for me... I use medicated powder, gold bonds... And I use medicated chap stick- yes, you read that correctly. The medicine in the powder and chap stick closed abscess faster then anything I've tried before. I keep the space faulty dry as well... And recently I have discovered Aquaphor as well. For the smell, that usually gave me the most trouble. I would gauze it and tape it and spray perfume on my shirt in the spot of the smell.
