Hey everyone. I am new here but I am certainly not new to HS. I have had it since I was 11 but I went undiagnosed until four years ago when I was 21. Over the past four years since diagnosis I have been getting steadily worse and nothing short of extensive excisions seem to be working. I recently got the link to Emuaid First Aid Ointment sent to me from a family member trying to help me find some sort of relief. Has anyone tried it, and if so what were your results? Thanks so much!!

Hi MrsJordan,

I'm sorry to say that EmuAid issued an apology for falsely advertising to people who suffer from HS. Here is the article:

That being said, I'm currently trying a rotational meal plan after having an ALCAT test and seeing what my food sensitivities were. While I've seen much improvement, I am on the lookout for a skin-loving product that will help replenish the properties of my skin that were lost from years of flares, itching, bleeding, and scarring and EmuAid may be helpful in that sense.

Good luck to you.

I hope they issued any refunds due along with the apology. At least I sometimes have a cheap and much-needed laugh at the expense of the makers of "Emu Goo" by trying to imagine an expanding product line of exotic Australian animal products like Koala Cure, Kangaroo Cream, Wallaby Wax and Dingo Dressings.

I still have some hope that what the active ingredients of EmuAid are, might have something enlightening to say about the workings of HS, but my two biggest worries were whether this stuff might clog any pores, and whether it might act as a moisturizer in places where it's most important to try and stay dry.

I honestly still know next to nothing about people's actual experiences using it for HS, though.

I had posted this on another thread but will copy and paste here what Emuaid Max does for me:

I've been using the Emuaid Max for over a year now. What it does for me is help with the pain as well as help new large bumps drain, smaller bumps it will sometimes help them go away. My problem areas are in the bikini area and armpits. It's not a 100% cure by any means, but it helps me tremendously.
