I just want to say THANK YOU. because of your advice and your videos i was able to reduce (almost completely get rid of) my HS. I take l-glutamine and zinc picolinate daily and have cut out nightshades, gluten, and dairy (except for the occasional treats) and i lost 20 pounds and am 10 pounds away form being in my healthy weight goal. all of your advice for vitamins and diet have greatly helped me. i also take neem supplements and drink green tea daily and also take cinnamon, and bitter melon to control or maintain healthy blood sugar levels throughout the day. I also apply an oil i make: mixing equal parts neem oil, geranium, bay laurel, oregano, thyme, tea tree, eucalyptus, essential oils and apply daily twice a day to the flat boil. (its a natural antibiotic). also that light therapy really really helped me too! thank you so much and may the force be with you.

I've had HS for 33 years and yours is the only actionable information I've ever heard. I sought help from a Medical School Derm Dept years ago and the head doc brought in a bunch of interns to look at me. After the show, he then proceeded to tell me to lose weight and clean my body better. Yeah... true story. So even though I'm Keto, I've been confused that I've had bad flares since changing my diet. Of course dairy has been a big part of my diet. So maybe that is the problem and I'm considering going off dairy (God help me !)

I lost 50 pounds thinking it would possibly end my HS. It definitely slowed the rate of the flares. However, definitely still have it actually in different places than before. Diet and keeping your harmones regulated help.

@alynnkay9409 4 года назад

Did you cut gluten out of your diet?

@Tranquilbutterfly28 3 года назад

@@alynnkay9409 No, but I did cut out dairy and now the flares are more predictable. I noticed it happens right around my menstrual time. I prep by taking the recommended vitamins this channel advised that are hormone regulating. The supplements I take are Holy basil, turmeric, ginger, fish oil, and vitamin A (feel like vitamin A was most effective especially the week before my menstrual). Since these supplements are on the natural spectrum the results were a gradual process. I feel like I'm gaining more control over my HS after all this :'( it has impacted me since middle school and I didn't know how to tell my parents, I'm now 25. Now I'm trying to heal the scars now that the flares aren't so frequent. I feel like I can manage the HS better since I found this channel. Also, check out Dr.Nina her channel is called @BeautifulBrwnbabydol she has multiple videos about her HS journey and healing the scars. It's about time I got in tune with my body, if my body doesn't like something and reacts I had to start listening and adjusting. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xQauD9lOKxY.html

Research God's time/calendar in Genesis 1:14. God MAY allow “The Powers To Be “ to enforce some type of “Sabbath Law” to see if we will keep His law or no before He delivers His scattered people from the nations. How can the true Sabbath be Friday, Saturday, Sunday, etc, if we are commanded by God in Genesis 1:14 to let the lights in heaven be for days, years, etc.? Besides, the beginning of God's months start with the new moon days. The Gregorian Calendar hanging on our walls, in our houses, do not start it’s months with the new moon day as the scriptures testify. The new moon day falls anywhere and everywhere on that time/calendar....How can the beginning of the month start in the midst of a month or, how can the first day of the month also be the seventh day Sabbath? God has three category of days, the new moon day, the six work days and the Sabbath day, they never, ever, overlaps each other. Ezekiel 46:1-3, 2 Kings 4:17-23. Look at the scriptures in Genesis 7:11, Genesis 8:4,5,13,14 and tell me what and whose time/calendar is being used here? We must abandon our traditions, stop worshiping God in vain and do things God’s way. Let us not deceive ourselves, there will be no good reward for keeping man’s doctrines in the place of what God commands. We make God's Word of none effect when we cling to our traditions. Mark 7 COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE!

@Joel-mp2oo 2 года назад

This makes so much sense for me. When I was a kid to 17 had no issues and one day started getting issues on thighs just as I started growing hair then started in arm pits as they were growing and then stopped mostly after developing thicker armpit hair.. I tried dettol, betadine, savlon, tea tree oil nothing would fix the issue ended up going to emergency after developing a pilonidal cyst.. The doctor sent me to a surgeon who just wanted to cut them all out and I just couldn't understand how this will fix the issue when the tissue in most places eventually repairs itself like nothing happened.. I went on clindamycin and metronide but this ruined my gut flora and I have only just started to get back on track with Omega 3 and Gut Probiotics with trying to add vegtables whenever possible to meals. Ever since a kid I have drank milk and had no issues but ever since 17 onwards its just been a battle. Apple Cider Vinegar and Omega 3 feels like it has helped interesting to see peroxide being used aswell might be worth a try. I am 27 years old. PS - I was 85Kg at 14 years old (very overweight) and then age 18 I was 75 Kg and was practically skin and bones and used anabolic protein to try gain some mass and noticed that my issues seem to get worse but honestly this could of been a timing issue more then the powder causing more issues but just something i thought I would mention.

@tabithajackson7758 4 года назад

Yes that is how my HS started. I was prescribed bc pills in 2014 (21 years old) and right after is when I started developing lesions. I wasn't officially diagnosed with HS until 2017 (24/25 years old) after being treated for MRSA infection from a flare that became infected. Puberty for me started in 2003 (10 years old) and until I reached adulthood had regular cycles, not too much abnormal hair growth, little acne, and normal breast changes; but I have been told that starting puberty at 10 years old is a little young and that may be a cause of hormone imbalance and HS. I have started drinking spearmint tea as I have read that it can help with HS and hormone imbalances.

@karacole2304 3 года назад

I hope the spearmint tea works for you! And oh my gosh I have the same story except I noticed mine happening much younger, when I was about 13. Doctor encouraged me to get on BC immediately when I began showing acne signs. I thought it would "cure" my acne. Nope. After I got married, I got on an IUD and just realized it is just as bad for HS, so I am trying to figure out how to live with this, especially as flare-ups happen when hormones are constantly fluctuating (which getting off BC can cause). Also, I'm jealous of you that you know your cycle. Since being on BC all my life, I have never been able to tell my cycle. Thank you for sharing your story.

@SanSueG 5 лет назад

Hi Dr. Biscoe! I take spiro and I find that it's helpful for my HS. I'm glad to hear that it's one of the safer options. I also have found that spearmint tea is helpful - I have a question about the connection between the two. I've noticed when I take my spironolactone pills that they have a minty smell and taste. And I know sometimes drugs are derived from something natural, and spear-/spir- sure sounds the same! Is spironolactone closely related to spearmint? Do we need to be cognizant of the possibility of "overdosing" my spironolactone if we also supplement with spearmint tea in medicinal doses? Also, I can usually count on a flare around ovulation. Is that consistent with increased androgen production or could there be other hormones at play there? Thanks so much for this really informative video!

Thanks so much for all of your videos, Dr. Biscoe! I have cut gluten, dairy and sugar out of my diet completely. I have recently been prescribed progestin by my doctor for endometriosis.

Never geting pregnant either so all ok.

I’ve had the boils since I was about 17 but thought it was associated to my acne. But at 23, I went on Accutane & my facial acne cleared up. I noticed after gaining 50 pounds the boils got more frequent, bigger and now appear in other parts of my body. They are worst when I’m near my time of the month. I’m trying to get back to a healthy weight and will be cutting diary and yeast & adopting an anti inflammatory cleaner diet. My question is has anyone seen improvement by doing permanent laser hair removal? I get my boils near my groin, bikini and butt area. And now recently my underarms. Which are all areas I grow A LOT of hair...

@marelta. 4 месяца назад

Is there a link with HS, stopping birth control and having too much male hormones? Since I stopped taking the pill (I’ve been taking it since 14, first flare up at 16-17) my HS completely disappeared, but now I’ve also started growing a patch of hair on my neck…I also had some hair loss for a while and developed hormonal acne (I’m 23 now). I stopped using the birth control at 22, so it’s been about a year but I have used it here and there when going on vacation and knowing I would normally get my period in that time. I already thought these weird hormonal changes are probably due to stopping with the pill but I never linked it to my HS disappearing, just thought I got lucky😂 Anyone that has anything interesting to tell me about this?

I am currently on Accutane. Can I still do the AIP diet for my HS? I feel like I need more heavy foods so that my stomach doesn’t burn while on Accutane.

Hello Dr, what is your opinion on the Keto diet and HS. Do you think the Keto diet has too much cholesterol/hormones for the disease? I was thinking of trying but do not want to progress a stage.

@Soaring_Seajay 3 года назад

I wouldn’t personally because of all the dairy (around 5 min mark). Hopefully she responds soon.

@AttuneMed 3 года назад

Ahhh - sorry for such a late reply! A lower-carb or ketogenic diet can be very helpful for HS, especially because insulin plays such a big role in the condition. It is very possible to eat lower-carb without dairy. :)

I have not been on BC for 4 years now but before i was on depo. This cause weight gain and the flares. I still have flare ups all in the same spots every month. I realized i have flares at the end of my period. I am wondering why. HELP.

@rosiechristo2335 3 года назад

If they are the same ones/area maybe talk to your doctor about it being drained and removed. It may or may not come back. I've had a few drained by professionals that haven't come back but I did have others develop in other areas. When I was on depo I believe it helped with my flare up (still there just not as bad) and even took away my hormonal migraines. The weight gain though...I was about 25 pounds heavier than I am now.

I have a video on this topic! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VtdDFBMdACU.html For some, it can be life-changing. Others may get mild to moderate improvements. And I have seen a couple of patients who actually developed HS as a side-effect of this medication. Everyone is different, and even HS can be wildly different between individuals.

Hi! I have period issues- period can last up to three months at a time for me, or I won’t get it for months- as well as having HS. Birth control sorta helps with the period issues but makes my HS flares up more often. Do you have any suggestions or advice? Would you suggest going vegan or vegetarian even?

@Julia-fx9zc 3 года назад

Any advice at all, will be greatly appreciated!

@Kate-pik 3 года назад

I have the same problems plus hyperinsulinemia! I think that going vegan and eating healthy is our only option. Nothing to lose.

@AttuneMed 3 года назад

Hey, Julia! I have not seen good results with vegan diets, but everyone is different. The challenge with following a vegetarian diet is getting high-quality protein without eating eggs or dairy (these can be HS trigger foods). By far, the biggest trigger food we see is yeast. Whenever I see irregular periods, I investigate thyroid issues. There is a link between HS and thyroid conditions, as well as polycystic ovary syndrome. This book is a great resource: amzn.to/2TyDsa5 Hope this helps! :) ~Dr. B.

I got it monthly, all my life, since puberty. I'll bet hormones has something to do it with disorder.

I have questions about soy and probiotics.

@AttuneMed 5 лет назад

Probiotics can be very helpful for HS because they support detoxification, hormone balance, and a healthy inflammatory response: www.helpforhs.com/product/dailyflora-essentials/ We're not fans of soy, mainly because most of it is genetically modified and sprayed heavily with Glyphosate. It also has strong estrogen activity, which is problematic for a lot of men and women.

1) Avoid cow milk products 2) reduce carbohydrates 3) If overweight, reduce weight 4) Avoid sugary food 5) there's a type Vitamin A advised by doctors for 6 months [my son is diagnosed for HS September 2021, I went to quite a few dermatologist after that, even did video conference with overseas dermatologist, all gave same thing], - but that must be advised by your doctor, for taking such medication, as such medication got many side effects related to planning for child, that means you just don't take it, by reading what I wrote.

@gluckwunschwinston5618 5 лет назад

I haven’t watched the video yet, but my HS started when I started taking pills for my PCOS. Now I don’t know if it was just coincidence or not, but it’s definitely something I‘ve noticed. I say it might be a coincidence because I was in fact 22 when I got it (which is apparently when most people get it), I am a smoker and overweight so blaming it on the pills might be a bit too naive. I‘ve been on a low carb diet for ~5 months now eating mainly fish and veggies (many nightshades included) and the first three months it was the worst. It had never been more inflamed. But the last two months I had no boil whatsoever. It might be linked to the weather and my weight loss though, as clothes are looser and the weather is colder aka I don’t sweat much. I started taking Diane first (synthetic anti baby pill) now I am on Climen („natural“ to treat women in their menopause) and Androcur.

@serginemetellus5288 5 лет назад

I don't think it's naive to blame the pill. Perhaps the smoking and extra weight also contributed, but it's well documented in the medical research that the pill can be an independent trigger for HS. I've worked with women whose HS only began after starting the pill.

its genetic, not contagious...the only thing it has to do with service is the age you got in is the age that HS flares up for the first time.
