HS

[Chloejac11]

Hi I have had HS for a few years and just recently found that the lumps under my arm can be very sore is there anything that I can do to bring it to a head for it to burst and the puss to come out to take some of the pain away as paracetamol only last for a short time. Thanks

Are you being treated by a Dermatologist? I have had mine injected with a combination of steroid and antibiotic in past by my Dermatologist. Made a huge difference. Otherwise warm compresses until it bursts and the non stick dressings with frequent cleansing. Saline and polysporin until draining is complete. I understand your pain. Get a good doc. Mine has significantly reduced in my late 40 s and with weightless which my Dermatologist has encouraged also. Hang in there. it can get better over time with a good Dermatologist on board.
