Blue light therapy
Hi. I was diagnosed with HS recently after having the condition for a few years (but didn't know it had a name)
I only get the occasional flare up in my groin area and I'm much better at dealing with them now. However, I do have a few deep purple dark scars that look awful (to me) and make me very self conscious.
Sometimes if I know I'm going to be showing my thighs to others like at swimming - I will wear a bandage and just make some excuse up to cover it.
My question is though - has anyone tried blue light therapy at home. My partner has a mask she uses for her face (dark spots, aging etc), and I see various devices online. I'm conscious about getting the right strength (rather than these cheap weak devices).
Anyone treated it home with blue light?
while I do not have any personal experience with blue light therapy this is a great questions! I hope others will chime in with their experiences if they have used it. I wanted to share with you this article written by one of our health advocates and her experience with it https://hsdisease.com/living/blue-light-treatment https://hsdisease.com/living/research-treatments. I hope these articles are helpful! Keep us posted and let us know if you need anything else! Sending thoughts your way! Warmly, Erin (team member)
