Unhappy My girlfriend most likely has hidradenitis suppurativa, a rare skin disease. - 10-07-2012, 07:35 PM

Hello good people, and sorry for the long title.

I don't know where to start. I will try to explain things as well as i can.

She has had the condition for about 5 years, but it was not as bad back when it started. The symptoms are as follows: boils and spots around the vagina and the armpits. Most of the time the boils are not hurting, but sometimes they have a nasty habit of being painful. I think that means her condition has not advanced too much yet, thank the heavens. But it is severely affecting her self-esteem, and it's easy to understand why. I just want to help her out of that disease, and that's why i posted here to ask people's opinions and advice. The boils are probably induced by sweating (or so we think atleast), since they are more prevalent at summer, and less frequent at winter. HS is credited as an "incurable condition", like many others are probably too. I personally think it can be cured. The widely renowned cure has not just been found yet.

If anyone has past experiences with the disease, or any tips, i would greatly appreciate them. Thank you for reading!
