Hello all,
My GYN just put me on two homeopathic meds to address the HS. They are supposed to dry it up, not make it go away, but dry it up and they appear to be working. They are lachesis mutus - 5 a day...and hepar sulphuris calcareum - ten once a week.
I've been experiencing a great deal of draining and shrinkage from areas that I usually don't. I think it's worth mentioning to your dr. and trying.

Here is the info I've found;
(((((lachesis mutus)))))
Therapeutic effect
The most important effect of Lachesis mutus is its blood-thinning, or anticoagulant, function. This action enbances blood flow and facilitates the bealing process by bastening the removal of toxins from the blood. The remedy is effective against many bleeding disorders.
Principal homeopathic uses
This remedy is prescribed to ease menopausal symptoms as well as to heal skin injuries, such as an insect bite, a blistering sunburn or a slow-healing wound. Such skin ailments typically produce intense fear and anxiety in patients-one of the hallmarks of the Lachesis mutus is given internally for skin injuries, as well as for anxiety-related conditions. It alleviates a wide range of maladies marked by bleeding or by an impaired blood-clotting ability.
Preparation of the remedy
The basis of the homeopathic remedy is the fresh poison of the bushmaster snake. Like all homeopathic remedies, Lachesis mutus undergoes an extensive series of successive dilutions before being used, so that only infinitesimal amounts of the poison remain in the final preparation. Because of this extreme dilution, commercially available homeopathic preparations of it are considered to be safe; but be sure to buy from a reputable source.
Symptom gauge
To determine if Lachesis mutus is the right remedy for you, your homeopath must know if your symptoms are affected by any of the conditions listed below.
(((((hepar sulphuris calcareum)))))))
Hepar Sulphur is an important polycrest remedy.
Hepar Sulphur, also known as Calcium sulphide of Hahnemann, and sulphur of lime. Complete name Hepar Sulphuris Calcareum, is from an impure sulphide of Calcium. Prepared from burning the white interior of oyster shells with pure flowers of sulphur.
Hepar Sulphur is a remedy indicated for unhealthy skin conditions. Is a favorite for acne as it helps the skin to clear faster. Key remedy for teen and adult acne.
Provings have also shown symptoms of eczemas, foul smelling pus from eruptions with skin sensitive to cold and touch.
I see how the two of these used in conjunction could help. What a great Gyno! Do me a favor mufaris let us know where to get this stuff and how much it costs sounds like its worth a try.
Only 5-8 bucks for a supply of each not bad
