Castor oil

I’ve struggled with HS disease for 25 years, since my first pregnancy. Sometimes it’s better and sometimes it’s worse. Now I’ve got it in my armpit and it started growing and hurting so much.

Pain relief came within hours

I recently purchased castor oil to try for other purposes, but I tried rubbing it on the inflammation and it was like a miracle! Within a couple of hours it didn’t hurt anymore and it started to go down! It’s been two days and it keeps getting better ❤️‍🩹 and I keep treating it with only castor oil.

Maybe it will help someone else

I can add that I tried an alcohol patch a few days before and it did nothing to help. Just wanted to share. Maybe it will help someone else. I use 100% cold-pressed castor oil.
