WHERE ARE MY HS MOMMAS AT?! 😩😭
If you don't know what HS is, this post probably isn't really for you... BUT imma tell you anyway because somebody out there needs to know they aren't alone.
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition that causes painful, deep, boil-like lumps to form under the skin, usually where skin rubs together.
And when I tell you I WOULDN'T WISH THIS ON MY WORST ENEMY… I mean it!!
This s**t HURTS.
It's frustrating.
It's embarrassing.
It's exhausting.
And honestly… it's just awful.
Normally, I might have one flare at a time. But right now?
I'M BATTLING SIX. SIX. 😭
Between the heat, sweating, and the ridiculous amount of stress I've been under lately, my skin has apparently decided it has had ENOUGH.
So I'm coming to my fellow HS mommas because I need y'all.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING THAT ACTUALLY HELPS?!
Give me ALL the tips.
The tricks.
The products.
The routines.
The things you wish someone had told you when you were diagnosed.
What helps you with the pain?
What helps during a flare?
What helps prevent them?
What do you do when the heat makes everything 10x worse?
And PLEASE save the “just lose weight” comments.
I have already lost 140 POUNDS and I'm still going, and guess what...
IT HASN'T HELPED ME AT ALL!
So clearly, that ain't the magic answer for MY HS. 🤷♀️
I'm not looking for judgment. I'm looking for MY PEOPLE. 🫶
If you have HS and you've found something that helps, DROP IT IN THE COMMENTS.
Because your girl is over here walking around miserable with SIX angry little demons under my skin and I need some help. 😭
