Hi all

I thought I would update you on my progress since I last posted about 7 months ago. At that time I had lost access to my trusted Skinsan because my gp said he could no longer prescribe it. Thanks to someone on this site I tried Hibiscrub which hospitals use as a body wash. I bought it online and it has been amazing. All I get now is very small manageable lumps. Hibiscrub really does keep the condition under control so thank you so much to the person who recommended it. I’m very grateful.

Hi, thanks for the update...its really great news that the HS lumps have eased up, glad the Hibiscrub is helping and hope it continues.

Thank you for you kind words. I should add that I bought Hibiscrub online but noticed they were selling 250ml bottles of it in Boots the other day.

No problem, we are supportive as we understand how awful this condition can be. How long would a 250ml bottle last? Would you use it to wash everyday?

It would probably last a couple of months I’m guessing. I buy the 500 ml bottle and used with the pump dispenser (which I strongly recommend for economy) it lasts about six months.
