HS and chronic folliculitis?

Does anyone else suffer with both? I have really bad chronic folliculitis on my buttocks along with very painful and large HS boils and abscesses. They never go away. Anyone else have any treatment ideas? Thanks

  1. Oh that really sounds painful (and frustrating), , to be managing both chronic folliculitis and HS. I hope some of our community members here can share any experiences they have with you! In the meantime I wanted to share this article with you. It talks about the difference between folliculitis and HS (which you probably already know), but it includes some tips for treatment that you might be interested in, https://hsdisease.com/living/folliculitis. Also, this article goes over the various types of treatment for HS, https://hsdisease.com/treatment. And finally, this one has some tips for home remedies, https://hsdisease.com/home-remedies I hope these can at least give you a starting point! Are you also working with a doctor and/or dermatologist? Wishing you a gentle day. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
