Hi everyone I’ve had hs for 3 years now i got diagnosed at 15 years old I am now 18. I have it on both armpits and I had surgery on my left armpit before but it had came back. These past few months have been the worst I can’t work and I couldn’t even go to college. I’m just so embarrassed to even go out. I really want to find a treatment that will get rid of my hs but im just not sure what to do anymore I’ve tried many other home remedies from taking vitamins and going on the aip diet but honestly I don’t know if that even worked. This month I came across skin grafting I found dr Amir Tahernia I’ve heard that his patients no longer have hs after getting the surgery. But I live in Illinois and the doctor is in California and before I decide to get it done I need advice. Has anyone had this surgery done if so I would like to know how was the surgery? Did it come back in the same area? Or did it come back in another part of your body? Please help me I really need to find something that can help get rid of this monster disease I want to be normal again.
My surgery was the most painful and traumatic event in my life. I was bed ridden and took over 6 months to heal.
I am not sure how much information you would like and to what detail, but I would be more than happy to share anything. That “anything” includes surgery photos (if you can stomach them). I also have a bunch of natural remedies that have helped me that I’m also willing to discuss if you would like.
