Congratulations! Obviously having HS isn’t what we all wanted to hear but it’s so nice to have diagnoses. I started spironolactone and didn’t see immediate results but I saw slow improvement. Now I’ve been on it for years and I have no new tracts open up and the old ones only flare up occasionally. I also started birth control at the same time which I think also helped. Compression shorts will be your best friend and welcome to the wonderful world of HS!!

I'm so glad you got a diagnosis! Have a name you can search up and do research on is something that provides you with agency. For a while they had me on antibiotics, but as my symptoms worsened, they decided to put me on Humira.
