I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa, here’s everything I use to manage it:
I knew my hidradenitis suppurativa , a skin condition that causes painful lumps to form under the skin, had gotten bad when I was sobbing during a shower in Sevilla, Spain, praying for something—anything—to make the pain go away. My armpit was swollen with an infected cyst spanning from one end to the other, and I was getting sharp pains every few minutes. On top of that, I had a fever and could barely move, let alone put my arm down.
HS is defined by the National Organization for Rare Disorders as"a chronic condition characterized by swollen, painful lesions, occurring in the armpit , groin, anal, and breast regions." No single cause has been identified , but it's related to an obstruction of the hair follicle and sometimes inflammation of the sweat glands, causing pus-filled abscesses that can progress to deep, inflamed clusters.
When I was first diagnosed in 2013, I'd been dealing with my condition for a few years, which was mostly me waiting for the cyst to go away. It wasn't until I stumbled upon a years-old blog post that recommended the elimination diet to help with HS that I felt some level of relief.
