Dr. gives me Cephalexin when HS gets out bad and beyond help with home remedies. It always heals it but usually takes a week or better for all the symptoms and discomfort to disappear.

When I first began using Cephalexin it worked like a charm. Typically after beginning a course the flare would reduce seemingly overnight. However, as my HS has progressed the effect of the medication has reduced. The only side effect that I have experienced from the medication is a "bad-belly" (draw your own conclusions) I'm told that this side effect is due to the fact that an antibiotic not only kills the bad flora (bacteria) but also the good.
