I've seen several people post on here in the past about boils/body acne/ hidradenitis suppurativa. I've suffered for years with the same/similar thing, mostly on my inner thighs/butt (I know, it's super gross and a total self-esteem killer). I've tried just about everything and nothing works. I feel like I wouldn't be half so self-conscious about my body if I was just fat and not bumpy, to boot!
Anyway, I had to post and share that about two weeks ago I started trying something that is working for me, and I thought I'd share in case any of you are still suffering from the same. It's really simple: hand sanitizer. I don't know if the alcohol is just working to dry out the skin or to keep infections at bay, but I just carry it in my purse and put two big bottles in my bathrooms and every time I go in the bathroom, and before I go to bed and after I wake up, I slather all affected areas with hand sanitizer. It sounds really dumb, but I have tried everything: accutane, antibiotics, every type of cream, lotion, soap, etc. out there, and this is the only thing that's ever given me real results- and so quickly. I haven't had a new bump since I started and everything is clearing up. I hope it helps someone else!!
